Blackland Era Level 4 straight bar (Gillette Green Super Stainless) and GEM Featherweight (PTFE coated). Utterly different razors but both allow a quick, no gore, two pass, work presentable shave. They make shaving easy.
Respectfully, this definition completely ignores the quality of the shave.
+1, if the setting is between 1 and 2. And ensure that the top cap and blade are symmetrical against the base plate, as you tighten them.Merkur Progress
YES! The efficiency and comfort level on the Lite with Bic CP or plain old Dorco (HQ ones) is quite remarkable. Basically zero stinging with an AS splash with alcohol and I use the Lite daily.my vote goes to Blackbird Lites; can be a great mix of efficiency and comfort depending on the blade
agree, but I prefer setting 4-5 on the first pass if I have 2-3 days of growth. I let the razor do the work without applying any pressure. This helps me stay more focused while also improving my technique+1, if the setting is between 1 and 2. And ensure that the top cap and blade are symmetrical against the base plate, as you tighten them.
Today I shaved with an old favorite, a Merkur 34G bought in 2009. Once a favorite, I hadn't used it in years. Even with a milder blade, and more gin than usual beforehand, I got a close comfortable shave. Definitely user friendly.
I finally pulled the trigger on a re-plated ball end tech NDC. I’m still doing a blade seek with it so don’t know where it will land in the order above.My favorites are:
Henson AL13++
Karve Overlander Brass
Edwin Jagger 3ONE6
I have been thinking on a re-plated tech or maybe SuperSpeed.
The friendliest to use is Henson AL13++.
Cheers!!!
