Todays shave was not one of my best. New soap that had a OK lather but smell reminds me of a cheap Axe spray lol. and the razor was new aswell so i gave it a try with the edge it had. and it was not very good at all. back to the hone's with this one.

You use a pretty steep angle with the razor, don't you? I like to use only one finger the blade side of the scales, I think most people use two or even three as you do. What's the tatts of on your arm? It looks cool... Originally Posted by ElTioDelUkelele

Tuesday evening
Hot water prep
Merkur Vision razor (highest setting) - Merkur blade - Custom silvertip badger - L'Occitane CADE cream - cold water splash - Thayer's rose witch hazel resplash - Calani Balm - hot towel - hot shower - LaLique White EdT
An over-confident shave punished with two sincere nics. I ordered this razor just out of curiosity. It's by no means cheap and I only wanted to see what an evolved DE in the 21st century would look like. Well... It's BIG and HEAVY.
The weight helps to just "let the razor do the work", but it's also SO big that it almost feels clunky. I like size, don't get me wrong, but this head is BIG. Then the weight. There where the Toggle razor is heavy with a touch of elegance, this one is just plain HEAVY. It's okay though if the shave is okay. I was a tad over-confident and that left me with two fat nics. You just DON'T mess with sharp German steel, period. This is a well designed razor, well balanced and surely open for more exploration. Next time I'll pop in a Feather blade and see where it gets me.

I find the feather works well in this razor for the days I use a de. You are brave to go with max setting I have mine about a third from lowest, could possible open it a bit more but it works ok to me
