I had one, loved the look, didn't like the shave.Blutt BR-1.
Yes; I get you.I had one, loved the look, didn't like the shave.
I struggle to understand how the same razor will feel different for the same person, at different intervals.
I also can't quite get my head around why seemingly identical razors all seem to be different to each other (R89 copies)
Lastly i can't understand how a modern maker of razors can't seem to "exactly" copy a vintage classic and have it feel the same (various Gillettes)
Have you, by any chance, also changed your shave prep, lather or the soaps you use?In the last year or so I've been revisiting some razors and blades I've really liked at the very beginning of this journey. I've found out that they don't provide me the results as I remember them. My theory behind it is that they suited my technique better at that time and that as my technique progressed I found razors and blades that suit me better now.
No, my prep never changed, warm water splash and face lathering. I still use soaps that I used back then like tabac, mwf, Razorock etc. Lathering technique probably improved over time but definitely not that much as that's were I had experience before DE razors. I've been using Wilkinson bowl and Palmolive creams years before I tried DE razors.Have you, by any chance, also changed your shave prep, lather or the soaps you use?
I've found that prep and lather can make enough of a difference to make a blade feel quite different, even though it's the state of the hair and environment that's changed more.
