Thread: Nice Little Travel Buddy

Recent, very cool, acquisition.

The first shave with this little guy was not too pleasant. I used a feather blade which may be too aggressive for this razor. I will have to try a more subtle blade.

Any suggestions?

Nice score. It is in amazingly great condition.
Congrats

I've seen a few of those but haven't tried one. Is the shorter handle an issue?

Try an Israeli Personna. They work great in the old ones, to me. Also last me a lot longer than Feathers, IMO.

Personna LAB or Blue. Work for me.

Very pretty, and should be an excellent shaver. When you're putting it together, don't screw the handle on too tight -- usually just snug -- the more you tighten it, the more aggressive the blade angle becomes. Yes, I discovered this the hard way...

The short handle does take some getting used to...

I hadn't thought of that, I'll back off the tension and see if that helps.

Thanks for the suggestions on blades Gents. I'll order some and try them.

Nice set, may I ask where you found it? Also, pretty much any blade will be less aggressive than a Feather, them babies are somethin' sharp.
