- Right here!
a Tech is tame and inefficient. I can't think of an example for aggressive and inefficient. Maybe a Tech with a Derby blade
@wintoid - you should give the seygus a go too, very similar shaves to the Hone, although not as smooth. I find it has a little more bite too...
Im an 8.5 or 9.0 glove at work (depending on make) so I too have hands like shovels, yet most of my bespoke razor handles are about 85mm long and perfectly fine, I just felt with the hone maybe another 5 or 10mm would have felt better in my hand - horses for courses, its a personal thing and I dare say I'll get used to it - or in the worst case scenario pop another handle on it - but then that defeats the object of the razor for me if I do that and will set off my autistic streak....I'm 6'1" and the only person in a building of over 80 people that uses XL rubber gloves, and I've yet to have a problem with any razor I've tried because of handle length, .
I made a shim for my Hone on Saturday evening from a single blade. I shaved with it on Sunday morning (half a day's stubble), and now Monday morning (full day's stubble). I used a new Feather blade on Sunday morning, and used that again on Monday morning. Both shaves got me BBS from 3 passes.
For me, it seems a decent improvement. Much more efficient, slightly more aggressive. Still feels very unlikely that I'd ever cut myself with it.
I should probably try unshimmed with a Feather blade at some point, just to be sure it's not just the blade.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooah
I keep feeling my face.
Its so smoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth.
Im quite impressed with the Hone.
I may have to sell all my other razors. Handle could perhaps do with being a smidge longer.
Sure I'll try and test it at some point. I'm a bit overwhelmed with razors at the moment, what with the Blackbird arriving and now a Seygus too (thanks to the enablers in this thread). It's fair to say that the Blackbird and the Hone are about as different from each other as it's possible for razors to beHi @wintoid really interesting, thanks for experimenting. I would like to hear the comparisons with the feather and no shim.
