Cobra classic

Greetings

Cobra's are not for everyone; three years ago I was kindly lent one to try by UK Rob, I shaved with it every day for about 7 or 8 days. It was the first model made, I found it to be just too much for me, to be 100% fair it was not the razor that was too much it was those artists club blades they are simply way too sharp and unforgiving for me, I tried three different types that Rob sent me and the ones with the mini guards were the most forgiving but still way too fierce for me.

I must add at this point that the razor gave me the closest shaves that I have ever had with any razor and/or blade ever and the slowest regrowth; but very definitely not the most comfortable by a long way. I did not find it a difficult razor to use and I quite liked the quirky triangular profile handle it is just that my face whilst not properly sore or cut 'glowed' after every shave!

I should add that I regularly use razors with far bigger blade gaps and hugely more blade protrusion but they are used with 'kinder' generally carbon blades which tend to make the razors a lot more face friendly. Don't let what I have said put you off, if your face can tolerate those blades a Cobra can give you the shave of a lifetime!

Regards
Dick.

Thanks dick great reply mate
 
I Didn't Find the Classic Cobra to be Particularly Aggressive Compared to Some Very Efficient Injectors..Maybe..Middle of the Road or Centre Left..Its Not as Smooth as Many Injectors Mind..I Have Used Cut Down Feather Pro Blades in Many Injectors as Well..The Tolerance's with the Cobra I Shaved with were Weird..That is to Say..The Comb Can Move Around & has been a Bug Bear to Many Since they Adapted it to take a Wider Feather Pro Super..o_O
