I wonder if the Geo Trumper sample container is this particular amount.
Bechet45 said:I see you settled on a thin handled Tech as a starter razor, Cassia. well, I've just discovered another, possibly even easier. I was put onto 1904 Gillettes as mild razor, which surprised me as they look viscious. I bought a Merkur '04 Replica and used it for the first time today. It's a can't go wrong razor: so mild I wondered if it was shaving; close shave as smooth as smooth; floats on the lather so it's ideal for that 'scrubbing' (or whatever it's called) technique.
It stays on my 'in use' shelf because it 'scrubs' under my nose so gently and I can actually get BBS there!
antdad said:It's called blade buffing...no it's not something you do with a blade in the nod. I suppose its an advanced technique to get at those areas that don't succumb, you shouldn't need it but Mantic covers it in one of his vids.
As for razor aggression that's mainly down to the razor head design...blade gap. exposure, open tooth or saftey bar etc are all factors, once you have enough experience you should be able to shave with most types of razor to a satisfactory level by adjusting your technique accordingly. Thats why your systematic approach while your technique is improving is a good one rather than say jumping from razor to razor and then thinking it's the razor that's improved your shave.

I am looking for the link but can't find it, am I blind or is it hiding... can anyone send me a link please?
cassia said:Ah, thanks for that, chrisbell! Just watched it, it seems a tad frightening but worth checking out- I'm surprised at how many passes he makes over the bare skin once the soap is removed
cassia said:He questions whether it is really worth the time that it takes... Anyway, I really enjoyed this bit of playtime

Every now and then it is good to stop questioning and learn to enjoy!
