Nice to see you around @Rob998 . Hope all is well
Everything is good here Chris, as normal my life is busy but boring! Drinkies when the initial frenzy has died down?
Whoa! That was fun!
Second shave with this Shark Stainless run in a 1940s Gillette Tech, a flat bottom example with the plating removed down to the brass with the same software: LEA shaving stick (grated) and a Cashmere knotted Asylum Brush Works Scanlon handle.
Comfortable and forgiving, I said after the first run out yesterday in a late model Gillette Tech.
Primitive, I'd say today ...
Maybe the slick coating has worn off. It felt much sharper today, more focussed and more keen. It was still a comfortable shave (no tugging or skipping) but it was primitive. I'm not quite sure how else to say that; the blade felt ... well, not raw, but not luxurious; kinda like driving without power steering, you feel everything and everything feels right. Loads of feedback from the blade. Today, it suddenly came alive! Yesterday was a caged tiger, today it was on the prowl. Whether that is characteristic of the second shave or the change in razor I don't know, but I will certainly be using this brand of blade again (and buying some in).
Really enjoyed that ...
In many ways, it put me in mind of a Treet DuraSharp. If the Treet DuraSharp is a carbon blade pretending to be stainless, the Shark Super Stainless is a stainless pretending to be carbon.
Let's see what it's like in a Gillette New with an open comb. Tomorrow.
