Passaround shave.
So my first use with the La Faulx and I have to say I’m impressed! The finish is top notch, the weight is relatively light for a stainless steel razor, and the balance seems spot on. The head which on first glance seemed just too big and curved/bent, was actually a revelation! It’s one of those razors that you can pick up and just go with, finding the correct angle is natural and an ease. It has a wide angle of attack and despite playing with the angle throughout the shave there was never any chance of me nicking myself. By the final pass though I had already fallen into the shaving position the head guides you into. For me the finish was excellent and smooth, if a little less close as I’d hope, however I think the new medium plate would make this another excellent SE addition to my den! (Must resist another SE acquisition for the moment!)
Many thanks to @Holyzeus for organising this passaround.
