This is a great thread to read, I love the sharing of information from numerous folks! AC razors sure provide a wonderful shave, it just takes time getting the technique down for using the wider blade. Enjoy the journey.
Well there ya go, now you need to check out some of the SASA threads. I just got my SE1 and have found I can shave ATG on the first pass with a VERY steep angle, the handle is almost parallel to my face, and get ZERO irritation. I am using Proguards now, got some Prolines on order, but they are on a slow boat from Japan...........So last night, went all steep, all ATG, no buffing, and single pass over most of face (AC blade has some overlap…) and got somewhere between clean comfortable and socially acceptable shaves with only one wiry neck hair left behind and the alum only pinged a teeny spot on my upper lip! And it wasn’t time-consuming!
The RX is it for me.
Went shallow last night despite not being ready with my protective, surfactant layer. Top lip was stoked and neck is raw. Neck and alum block bickered like Matthau and Lemmon in the 'Grumpy Old Men' franchise, so back to steeper shaves until I develop a bulletproof lather.
If you THINK you know what "No Pressure" means, you'll definitely learn. Hey, I'm honest- the first time I used a Gen 1912, I was a bloody mess. It took 3 shaves to not look like an extra in a zombie movie.In photos, it sure is one spiffy stubble slaughterer.
You said it's less forgiving than your Injector. What about it makes you prefer it? Efficiency? Post shave feel? Walking the wire edge between insanity and more insanity?
