2nd hand, ThanksLove the splash bottles Dave. Did you buy those new or secondhand?
Don’t fight it Lee, us guys are all afflicted to some degree with “shaving stuff acquisition syndrome” or SSAS, plain and simple, no cure other than grow a full face beard, but then that’s probably only temporary remission.View attachment 96678

Day one with the Drakkant standard plate. I always use an Astra as my base starting point when using a new razor to minimise variations to my shave with something new.
Lee you have lots of fabulous quality medium to mild razors. Lee you should be satisfied with what you have already. Lee you are not a magpie stop being impressed by new shiny toys. Lee are you taking this in? Are you listening?
Or are you focusing on the fantastic knurled and chunky handle, that feels even better than it looks! Or focusing on how well it’s finished and the amazing way the plates clamp the blade? Or the way the head is designed and angled for you so you can easily find the correct angle of attack? Or the weight and balance being just spot on?
It’s the later isn’t it Lee, all of the latter. One shave in and it’s amazing, yes it’s on quite the mild side of efficiency scale but it’s an amazing daily shaver. I’m going to try it out another day on this plate before moving to the Plus which I think will be just as pleasant but overall this is a bit of a winner for me!
