First time shaving two days in a row rather than 1.5 days or every 2 days. First time face lathering . I will need to start doing it more often- there’s something enjoyable seeing how lather builds on a face rather than in the bowl.
I think the blade was the smoothest on its third outing - potentially could be fine for another 3 pass shave but the temptation to try some different blade is too big at the moment. Most likely will order 100 of them sometime soon.
Comfortable DFS++ achieved without any struggle or errors.
Hi and thanks for asking. TBH, I really love shaving with this razor. I have only use the Feather Proguard blades so far as it is the cheapest I could find locally. Each and every shave is effortlessly easy and silky smooth (probably because of the blade). The angle is easy to find (mostly shallow). I have more than 35 razors (vintage and modern) and none were able to provide me with a shave so efficient...unless I push it and will surely result in irritation or weepers. This razor can maneuver so easily around and especially under the nose and any curvature. My usual problem areas are the adam apple and under both jawlines. I am amazed how easily this razor removes the hairs there...How do you find the razor

I've almost exclusively face-lathered since I started - it just feels more connected to the whole process! As @Paul L said above that bit of stubble helps build the lather, and I love the "painting stroke" of the smooth lather after the swirly build. God I need a hobby. If only I could afford one after joining this forumFace lathering is the way ahead - with 2-3 days growth the lather will be better (more agitation against the brush)
Yes please Russ I would really appreciate that thank you..I have just been having a read up on them the Nera does sound very nice think I would prefer that one to the RossaCan pop a sample in the post Jay , if you want to try it.
No worries i will PM you.Yes please Russ I would really appreciate that thank you..I have just been having a read up on them the Nera does sound very nice think I would prefer that one to the Rossa
Good it's working for you, it is a good looking razor and an excellent copy of the Vector, which for me is a fantastic smooth and efficient razor. Feathers can be a bit rough. If you PM your address, I can send you a Kai Pink and Proline P30, which are superior in my opinionHi and thanks for asking. TBH, I really love shaving with this razor.

I have long admired and desire the Vector but that razor is just way beyond what I can afford (even the RR Hawk). OTOH, both these AC razors ( I have both brass and aluminum) comes to me at only USD16 and the most expensive thing is the blades...
I really resisted the urge to use both every day...they're so good. I reminded myself I have to use DE razors more because of the cost of the blades...
I read somewhere that all these 3 are rare to be found in just 1 razor, Smoothness, Comfort, and Efficiency but I found mine...YMMV of course
Definitely will be giving it a try more often! Will have a go at it with 2 day stubbleFace lathering is the way ahead - with 2-3 days growth the lather will be better (more agitation against the brush)
See strangely I've started off with bowl lathering and didn't give any other way a try! Not sure why to be honest haha!

Normally when I bowl lather, i still massage the lather into the face and finish off with painting stroke - don't worry, you're not the only one! I find it very satisfying to, how nice thing and equal it looks once 'painted' over!
Haha, remember themI don't bother painting the lather out too evenly (imagine a country pub with heavily artexed walls !!)
i do couple passes, but it's by no means very even. Handful brush paths visible on each side of face does me well!I don't bother painting the lather out too evenly (imagine a country pub with heavily artexed walls !!)
Hey...many thanks!! I truly and sincerely appreciate your very kind and generous offer but I am quite far away in Malaysia. I know it is not cheap to ship to me so you have my deepest gratitude.Good it's working for you, it is a good looking razor and an excellent copy of the Vector, which for me is a fantastic smooth and efficient razor.

Ride the cap, otherwise it's a steep angle scraper.just to check my skills:
R41 + Astra Blue
Proraso cypress and vetiver cream directly on the brush (Yaqui sagrada)
1 day beard
no prep
Zero irritation and red points.... but why use R41?
Not a pleasure for me to use...
