Thanked: 9First Duck shave!
Ilija, missed your post. I assume you talk about a Norton 1-5. I am actually only using the Lithide for this.
So I tried the DUCK!!!
Shower
some hair conditioner
Tabac soap
Omega Silvertip (Peachy)
Dubl Duck Goldedge 6/8
Trumpers Alum block
ice cube
Lucky Tiger AS Toner
L'Occitane CADE AS balm
The 6/8 Goldedge feels fab and fits very nicely in my hands! I feel like it were made for me, despite the fact that I am biased against celluloid and brass! I haven't had such a strong perception with any of my other razors, and I do have other cult brands / models... I thought I prefer wedges, but I still love how this hollow razor shaved. I MAY have used inferior angles at times, as the razor came to me through a very respected forum member, but I did sense some pulling. Clean shave but did not go BBS, as I prefer less redness and irritation...
Omega is a bit floppy but holds lots of water, makes lots of foam, which I like after the C&E beautiful boar disaster... Tabac is, as we all know, great. Alum block burned a bit in some areas, which again tells me I had less than optimal angles in some instances. Nevertheless, redness was soon gone after I applied toner and AS balm.
And now for the conclusion: (DRUMROLLLL)
0, as in ZERO, Nicks / Cuts! That's a first!
