I've had close three-pass shaves with even coverage for the last couple of shaves, but I can see what you mean on all accounts. I do think it's a razor I can click with but I don't think it'll ever be a 'brainless' plug-and-play razor that more-or-less shaves you itself. Pretty razor, though, and good weight. We'll see!dodgy said:NotTheStig said:Me too. I used a light touch and took longer and got a not very close shave, on edge the whole time. Really wanted it to work for me.dodgy said:Burgundy said:Gillette Aristocrat #15
A close shave but this is a razor I do have to concentrate with - unlike, say, a Weber. Still on a learning curve with it; it's the least forgiving of any Gillette TTO I've tried. Any Gillette at all, in fact.
That's one razor I really wanted to love. Great looking piece that felt solid in my hand, but had just a little bit too much bite for me. Tried a number of different blades but no go.
I keep hearing from guys saying they can get a good shave with any razor......sounds like fiction to me.
Yep, they do take longer to shave with because of the extra drama involved. The shave is an uneven one.....extremely close on the easy areas and much less so on the tricky spots, due to not wanting to push the envelope at all. Plus, I flat out hate the huge amount of blade feedback on my face. It's just too intrusive. I mean where's the fun in having all that to deal with.
Hah, saying that, this razor is a real popular one. Lots of people love how that blade feels on their face. I just wish it was a better fit for me. Luckily my buddy pissingin loaned me his to test drive.
