My 24C gives me no irritation sublime shaves., and your right they are very comforatble to use.@Hossyhossyguy - The Edwin Jagger razor is quite good. The reason I didn't recommend it above is that I have found that the Parker 24C or 26C is just a bit more comfortable and more efficient, but you certainly could do well with an EJ razor. Another I recommend, with a head just like the Parker, is the Maggard V2 open-comb head: exactly the same head, so far as I can tell. The benefit is the handle: for the same price as the Parker, you get the same head on a good stainless steel handle (of which they sell a selection). But the 24C would do the same job.
Well done, good choice, no matter where you are in the world you can count on customs to hold on to it for a while and then charge you, I hope you enjoy using it .I went with this Parker 24C for first DE. I waiting for it to come from US. It will be delayed by third world bastard Belize customs no doubt and I have pay twice the price but it no was to expensive.
Best of luck!People hating on hossy making me feel sad
In other news I am gonn start making soap. I pulled some recipes off the internet and gonna make with fine Caribbean essences and give them out freeSee how it go but might join this artisan thing with formulation special to improve cartridge shave.
Hey there I am Hossyhossy or hoss for short. I am looking forward to participating in the forum especially the cartridge and soap sections. I have a passion for cartridge razors. I think they are just the business and I collect them: mach 3 with nice handles, Wilkinson Sword Quattros, Harrys, Dorco,dollarshaveclub, Giletteclub, Boldking. I just have to have my cartridge fix whenever I can! All the stuff about them not lasting is a load of cobblers. I strop mine on my jeans and can get a month's use out of my cartridges with no problems whatsoever: always smooth as butter, no nicks and no irritation. In fact I was one of the first testers of the Quattro. I wish I had kept the prototype and not sent the thing back for poxy Boots vouchers now. I am currently waiting on a Gilette Guard which I think will make cartridge and Gilette super bosses all over the world. I think I have chosen the correct way as I don't want to go down the DE route. The blades probably won't last another 10 years anyway ( browsing here I see some blades being withdrawn by Gilette already) with the Guard going down a storm in India and stuff. I can't wait to try it!
OK so you may not be liking what I say but I will make one concession to you traditionalists and that is soap. Man I love artisan soaps. I have got Fox's stuff which is just the dog's (foxes?) do dos and I love to use OSP with my Fusions and my Quattros. The tallow and the perfection of modern, precision engineering go hand in hand to make an awesome shave.
Oh yea a bit about me You can call me Hossy or Hoss but my real name is Larkin Pond and I am a Brit who divides my time between the UK and Belize where the cost of living is high but the hookers are cheap...
