Day five of the Hone type 15a review Monday 5th sept 2016
Today i am using a Gillette 7o clock yellow blade with this razor.
After lathering up with good quality shaving soap, P&B Albion. I began my first pass, WTG, no drarma, nice and smooth and good sound feedback as it mowed through the stubble .
Second pass XTG, this lightweight razor is easy and dream to use and although my hands were wet it felt secure and gave me full control over the razor, good amount of stubble removed.
Third pass ATG, no problems with this blade even ATG on par with the Astra's I've been using, just about done, a quick clean up in the usual places for me and finnished.
My face is smooth and I have zero irritation, which seems to be one of the Hone's strong points ....it's so smooth in use, it may be a mild razor but even if you have to clean up an area there is no fear of razor burn.
I am pleased with the performance of this razor, my face is as smooth as the razor looks and no irritation, perfect.
As far as the blade was concerned it was very much like an Astra and for me works well in this razor.
Tomorrow I will try a voskhod blade just to mix things up a little.
These are my thoughts and opinions and they may differ from you findings.
Over and out.
