Feather ACSS + Feather Pro Super

First shave with the super blade. I can barely tell any difference compared to the Pro blade. I think maybe I was able to achieve a slightly closer shave, but the difference isn't really noteworthy. I was expecting a lot more.

Is there a way to stick something in the holder, behind the back of the blade, so there is more blade exposure?

Shavette: No name sliding shavette (Very low blade exposure give a safe shave, no nicks/cuts)
Blade: Perma Sharp (2)
Brush: Jaguar 783
Soap: Wilkinson Stick (Tallow and Lanolin joint venture works great !!)
Post Shave: Marmara 13 (Nice cooling effect) and Arko Cream

I find the slight increase in blade exposure of the super blade makes it "easier" to use.

Previously posted in Double Edged Razor: What razor/blade did you use today forum, but seems more appropriate here. Recently received this YNR Instruments (Manchester, England) ‘kamisori’-style ‘shavette’ ring razor (bought out of interest for £5.99 from amazon.co.uk - came with a free pack of 10 Chinese DE blades) and used for the first time with a half Feather DE blade inserted. Excellent BBS shave and no blood letting involved. Stainless steel and decent swing-lock construction. Depth of the head is greater than that of a scaled shavette/barberette and the same as a modern medium 2chogake Iwasaki kamisori.

SR shave #40
Preshave: Proraso red
Razor: Feather AC SS
Blade: Feather Pro Super #1
Brush: Sawdust Creations Studio Chocolate Goodness 26mm
Soap: TBS maca root
Aftershave: DG/CL Confluence

This shave #40 was going to be my make it or break it shave. Surprisingly, I actually achieved a close shave. No where near as close as what I can achieve with the Blackland Dart or RazoRock Hawk V3-OC, but I finally made some noticeable progress since SR shave #12.

I'm assuming my success is related to using TBS maca root and a new Feather Pro Super. The maca root is the best performing soap I've ever used.

After a while another shavette shave.
Shavette: Feather Clone (I love this green :thumbup: , I confess I bought a black one also, but I always pick this shinny green :001_rolle)
Blade: Feather Pro #4
Brush: Yaqi Two band 24mm. One of my favorite yaqi brush.
Soap: SV Cosmo
Post Shave: 4711 and last drops of John Varvatos (may be another two shaves)
Result: Irritation free very nice shave 10/10
 
I just visited the website; seems like a very interesting shavette.

It is the closest thing to a real straight razor you will ever find in shavette form. The fact that it takes DE and Injector blades in addition to the AC blades is just the icing on the cake.

Another Ali Biyikli Sahvette shave paired with Gillette Super Platinum (Black Box) ("GSP"). GSB is medium-sharp and serve very good with Ali Biyikli.
Basak Turkish Boar Brush hairs looks like Semogue SOC Boar. But Basak doesn't eat lather. Very soft and nice on face.
SV Cosmo is very slick soap that I like to use with Shavette.
4711 gave a decent refershment after one pass shave.
No nicks and cuts.
Result, irritation free a 10/10 shave.

I have a tin of Cosmo coming tomorrow or the day after. Looking forward to trying it out. I've been using Felce, but it's almost gone. Didn't want to be without an SV soap in the house.
