Today the new base plates (prototypes) of the Greencult safety razor were allowed to show what they can do.
For better understanding:
O = The original head
L = Higher gap than the original (aggressive)
M = About like the original (medium-mild/aggressive)
S= Lower gap than the original. (Mild)
Base plate changes: no more through holes. As a result, the base plate is smooth. Gap and exposure have been adjusted.
The foam channels are now continuous, no more bridge.
Since it is a prototype, only the L, M and S were lasered. The end product will of course be labeled more beautifully and of course it will be optically enhanced.
Exact dates of the gaps and the exposure will be communicated.
Plate L and plate S with a feather were used today.
As always, the shaving soap was allowed to soften on the face for 3-4 minutes. Right half of face was shaved with S-plate.
Left half of face was shaved with L-plate.
The S plate is noticeably milder. It glided wonderfully through the whiskers.
Although milder, it was already clear after the first run that the S plate is very thorough. It's a noticeable difference to the original record and of course the L record.
Against the grain, the S plate proved to be excellent. No tugging, no rattling, nothing. I would say that the S-platter really shows what it can do against the grain. Perfect, soft and very comfortable on the skin. I had no problems with my upper lip.

The L plate feels much more direct with the line.
Here, too, the first round was very good, almost BBS, at least on the cheeks and neck.
Against the grain, especially on the upper lip, the L-plate bitched a little. She picked something. Here it was important to change the angle (almost 90 degrees) and keep the shaving cream more liquid.
But with a water shave it got better. (Clean up)
But I was shaved tip-top here too. After, as I said, a water shave and a little cleaning, I was completely BBS.
All in all, I would prefer the S plate, since it worked a bit softer, at least for me. But I have to say that my whiskers are quite thin and not too hard.
After a cold face wash, the after-shave was allowed on the skin. I could burn neither left nor right. Actually, I would have expected a burn on the left side, but as I said, nothing.
With the 3 new records, Greencult actually has the right product for everyone (coming soon).
Very clear purchase recommendation.
If you already have the Greencult, you can soon get a more suitable plate separately, depending on your needs. I don't know when that will be yet.
If you don't have a Greencult yet, you should wait until all 3 records are available.
*Edit*
The head is also new. You need a new head and a base of your choice. Sorry, my mistake, I misread that.
