4E4CB7BB-E792-489C-8871-B2B2AFB8745A.jpegWell what a school boy error today but i preserved to no avail.
The blade didn’t fit the razor i basically wasn’t deep enough with a very slight bit of blade showing i decided to go with it anyway.
I mean why not stupidly runs in the family.
Cut a long story short a 12 pass shave finished of with a feather asd2
:ROFLMAO:
What i really should have done was change this blade out but i never thought at the time lol
as i said stupidly runs in the family.
Never mind the soap was decent the splash was decent & yip you got it the balm was decent.
Stupidly Shave number 1 hopefully there isn’t any more to follow
Stay Safe Boys & Girls

Tue 26
Soap Yaqi PinaColada Chillers
Brush SOC Cherry Wood Boar
Razor Karve Brass OC-D
Blade JAWS Platinum 2nd
Aftershave Yaqi PinaColada Chillers Splash
This soap scent is quite nice but the high mentholated sensation is most memorable and matched with the super cold splash...perfect for the hot humid day ahead...
Another uneventful shave with the razor and blade combination. 3passes without any issues for a bbs-dfs finish...

The Feather lights are @7.4mm wide - 0.6 less of the blade is exposed from the head compared to a Pro @ 8mm.
The only razor I got them to work well in is the Feather DX Shavette. I could not get a Shavette shave from either the SR or SS versions or the KIA captain, with the Occams floating blade it could be the issue?

Ah ok Thanks Tony
it’s an issue for sure :ROFLMAO:
But there is 3 different heads you get with the Occam’s i’m just wondering if the smallest would be best
i’ll steal sorry i mean borrow a screwdriver from work tonight & give it a go.
i do have the Kai’s also
it’s an expensive mistake if it doesn’t work

Most manufacturers don't recommend Feather Lights for their razors Mike due to their size - only for use in shavettes if I remember correctly.

Rooney 3/2 Faux Ebony Finest (24/54)
Soap Commander Love (True Rose) shaving soap
Wolfman WR2-SB/Darwin Copper
Wilkinson Light Brigade (10)
Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna aftershave (vintage) or Christian Dior Homme aftershave

Tepid water in the scuttle reservoir on this very warm morning, and great lather with the best fresh rose scent of any soap I have used.

Good Shout mate iv not heard that before
It’s a shite blade anyway :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
If the occam’s plate 1 doesn’t work iv got two choices. Give 2 packs of blades away free to a good home or go down another rabbit hole

I would try the #3 plate, the most aggressive should give more blade feel.

You need a DX Mike, these blades smooth it out a bit. I only need a single pass for each shave, probably 1 month off a blade
Update :- when I mentioned the KAI Captain, I meant the shavette (sort of between an SR and the DX) not the blade, for me, them boys are top notch (blue pack blade), sharp and long lasting.

Yeah ok Tony thanks
plate 3 definitely sounds the better opinion.
I know what you mean regarding the DX but that’s a whole new Rabbit Hole that i don’t know if my wife is ready for :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
