Closed Pass Around: Hone Type 15 - Completed

"Clean it a bit" ????? I hope that means clean literally and not clean, as in polish / shine ?
 
Cleaning with soap and disinfecting with Barbicide are OK. Don't use polishing paste or steel wool or anything harsh
Enjoy the razor @Sir_eider.
Spanish Mail did well, the tracking sucked though. The only tracking was provided once the razor had been delivered.
 


Hi mates!

I have been using this HEAVY DUTY razor these days with two different blades: Gillette 7O'Clock yellow and Feather. Here it is this morning shave, using a full Alvarez Gomez set plus Spanish A&A brush. Tomorrow will use one more time (which will totalize 5) and will send on Monday to the next guy. Here are my thoughts:

- I like the way it is constructed/made: it feels solid and well assembled. It seems a small version (in size, not in weight, hehe) of a Merkur Futur.
- I don't like the "pattina", it looks odd IMHO. I would prefer a chrome platted version (or golden). Anyway, I understand the people who like it, the good thing of classic shaving for me is that there are so many options to choose (yeah, I love variety).
- About how it shaves, for me is too heavy. It's difficult to get enough precision in certain parts of the beard because of it, so you must add more pression. Fortunately, it is on the mild side but finally I can not get better results in my hard beard than with a regular Edwin Jagger/Muhle close comb with a heavy handle for example.

Again, many thanks to @riverrun for the opportunity of tasting this razor and I will contact with the next mate on the list tomorrow.

Cheers!
 
There has been a small change to the list. @DevonStan has been replaced by @Tall_Paul. Can you please contact @Sir_eider.
