What razor/blade did you use today
- Thread starter highball
- Start date
01.03.2021 Fatip Piccolo SE with ОС plate and BOLZANO right side of the face (0,5) and TIMOR left side of the face (0,5).
Hehehe now I start to understand why people love the wizamet / polsilvers a second shave with the snmirn and it was easy and smooth without irritation whatsoever.
Not going to finish the blade because I want to find out if the snmirn who is so far not picky with blades at all truely is. Which would make it an ideal inexpensive holiday razor

I was a brave man today!
After my shower and a good face-lathering with Arko, and my usual 3 minutes' wait, I deployed my Fatip Open Comb Slant (FOCS) with a new Feather blade in it. As you can imagine I took it extra carefully, a lighter touch even than usual. WTG, ATG, then XTG on the throat only (tricky around that Adam's apple, sir!), and a bit of cleanup. Result: no irritation or nicks and an incredibly close shave, possibly the closest I've ever gotten to BBS.

I like the snmirn a lot!
It shaves smoother as my qshave futul and Parker adjustable. The head is still clunky big compared to a gillette black beauty. But it is an easy shaver not to picky regarding angles. And so far it is not picky regarding blades either. Meaning I could get a comfy shave with
Gillette silver blue
Doreo blade
Wizamet
Pretty much without thinking about it.
The magnetic cap works nice for me.
Finish of the razor is good but the handle has a flat spot where someone buffed to long hardly noticable.
It lacks the big gutters of the futul and that makes that you will have to remove the blade for thorough cleaning. But it does not collect so much that it hinders me just some muck on the under lip of the blade.
If it keeps on going easy with different blades then it makes it a dependable cheap travel razor for local blades usage.
Would love one in a brass finish or simply orange
