The performance of the things used is pretty much known. The blade, however, is kinda dull and in the first pass especially didn't do much. This made me do 3 passes. Wtg, xtg and atg. Everything was going fine until I got to the third pass. As soon as I put the alum on my chin turned red. It also stung a lot and so did the floid aftershave. The proraso luckily was soothing. Now, about a half hour after my shave I have razor bumps. Like small red spots all over my chin area. I am sure it was the blade and that third pass. Plus, I had only shaved yesterday so i didn't have much hair to begin with.
Hey, thanks for your comment. It is indeed an aggressive razor head. I am still trying to get used to it especially for going ATG. The blade tends to chatter and skip during that pass and not very comfortable for around the lips area. Perhaps with the right blade, it might be better and as such, I am still searching. This is a free head anyway so just use it now and then. The most aggressive head however is the Yaqi Slant...in my opinion...hahahaI heard the Yaqi knights helmet is a good aggressive razor if that is what person likes! Interesting looking head they designed.
