Gentlemen
Is there a shaver you just can't imagine yourself not having? A razor that means something to you in ways that might even be hard to explain? Not necessarily a "grail" razor although it could to fall into that category. I'm talking about something that just fits you to a "T".
Perhaps it's been handed down to you or was a gift from a special person or relative. Or maybe it's the result of a long time of searching and experimentation.
I have 8 razors that all shave me extremely well. These 8 are all very well designed, good looking and efficient without being scary.
For example...my Lambda Athena is absolutely the most gorgeous modern razor I have ever seen.
BUT...the one razor I cannot do without or part with is my Smart-Helix Apollo. It is a very good shaver, extremely well made and very attractive. The shave can be either mild or a bit more aggressive by simply flipping the base plate over. A very good handle which is not slippery in the least. Shaving angles are intuitive and easy to figure out. Is it my best shaver? The 8 I have are all very close in performance and efficiency, but this one means something more for me.
That's because I am Ukrainian. My parents, their parents (born in Ukraine) and further back, all from Ukraine. So this razor truly has a deep relevance for me considering what's happening now. I'm in contact with the folks of Smart-Helix and they're doing as well as can be expected.
So this is my one razor that I will never part with and will maybe become handed down at some point...or maybe it goes with me.
