The 1350K (open comb) got my attention quite some time ago. Common sense prevailed at the end though, as it is not wise to embark in a quest to try every DE in the marker. That said, I would be interested to read opinions on these closed and/or open comb razors.

Yaqi 30mm arrived a few days ago, and Maggards 30mm arrived a few days before that :)

Yep, I think too that your best bet is to buy another one if possible

Hello Aleksandar and welcome

Very interesting Award threads with lots of useful info, thank you for starting them Nick :)

M2 is now sold

Here is my V3A head with the MR1 handle which I like very much. Love this combination :)

Hello Gentlemen! I would like to trade my ATT M2 base plate for your ATT R2 base plate. I may also consider a trade with an ATT H2 base plate or an ATT top cap (cap for these plates, not a slant cap). Base plate (or cap) must be in same (mint+) condition. Each party pays Registered shipping...

Razorock synthetic brushes are very nice for the price, and available in the UK too

Get a synthetic brush from the beginning

Very useful info @wayne mattison. I like more aggressive razors (I use among others the Fatip OC v2 and the Variant at 4 and 5). Great info also from @Eeyore68 and the rest of the folks, much appreciated. Interesting info regarding the threaded stud also, as @carbold mentioned that is press...

Those of you who have the Rocca: How aggressive/efficient is the razor please? Let's say, compared to a Rockwell or a Parker Variant or any ATT that you may have used? Thanks!

Warmest congratulations :)

I haven't seen such detailed photos of the G1 before, thank you

Giesen and Forsthoff (Timor) in Germany have an open comb model -the 1350K, the 1353K and the 1354K. Presumably the head is the same and the difference is in the handles. I have no personal experience with this model though although I have been tempted to buy one in the past.

Not the smoothest head for me, so I can't really comment. It would be great if you could try before you buy :)

Some aggressive razors, from what I have tried: R41 2011 and 2013 Fatip open comb Sabi T2 and T1 closed comb heads Parker closed comb heads Merkur 37 Slant Maggard Slant Razorock German 37 Slant ATT H1 (H2 too I suppose) Merkur Futur (the blade gap can be huge) Merkur Progress (at higher...

After many years of using boar and (a few) badger brushes, now I use synthetics exclusively. The price/performance is great and they are care free. My most used synthetics are Simpsons CH2, Plissoft, Omega S10065, and Edwin Jagger 25mm. They are all great for me.

Welcome back. If you decide to give DEs another shot, you can have a look at Rockwell 6s or 6c.

This is my experience with slants so far: iKon X3 (milder) ATT S1 (mild) ATT S2 (less mild and more blade sensitive) Maggard Slant (medium aggressive) Merkur 37 (aggressive) German 37 (almost the same as the Merkur) I use the first three for the most part, along with Rockwell 6S (#4 or #5...
