At 9 grams its more than twice the weight of a BIC Metal at 4.2 grams.Just to let you know, my Ebay order arrived safely today, only 2 x days. My god, that razor is awfully light! LOL
Yep. That and prep.Well, as an experiment, I tried the Gillette Guard this morning - I'm shocked! I did my usual prep of hot towel, then ProRaso Red and proceeded. I completed a 3 x pass shave, and I ended up, after a bit of tidy up too, with a BBS finish. I never expected this, and it lead me to wonder, before DE, all the years I was dissatisfied with the 'plastic' multi blades, it was all down to technique, wasn't it?
Its a good idea to take them off before honing, unless your a qualified Mohel
Fucking bonkers, son.
DE shaving is more fun, so you take your time and do pass after pass after pass. A cartridge razor is no fun, so you whizz it around your face once and be done with it SCNRThe one thing I don't understand from reading threads of this nature is how on Earth do some people take so long with a DE? The only reason DE shaving takes longer for me is that building lather from soap is slower than squirting it from a can.
