Well, my new Superior cuts razor is just fab. The rest of the crew were pretty darned good too.


Happy shaves guys.

An excellent shave.

My first shave with the Superior cuts SB baseplate was really good. For my style of shaving — most of my strokes are buffing style and the blade never leaves the skin on the backstroke — so I like the smooth safety bars. Gotta say I'm really impressed, and I love the color!


Happy shaves guys.

That is a nice-looking razor, Cal. When I want to buy my next razor, I have to look no further than your, "I don't do Journals" Journal. It's a gold mine.

A superb shave.

All the (hardware and software) players played a blinder tonight. I know it was only my first shave with CF Natural soap, but it stood out as the best scentless soap that I've used to date! Performance was superb and I couldn't detect ANY scent at all!


Happy shaves guys.

On the Chiseled Face website they advise riding the cap. I know you've long been a steep angle shaver. I'm confused.

Happy shaves,

Cal buys their razors, not their “advice.”

I remain a "constant" steep angle shaver, and never expect to change that, Jim.

According to me, blade exposure is neutral:

so in theory steep and shallow angles are the same. (Of course that assumes that skin is dead flat and stays that way. )

Always a good reference from Grant:

Exactly the answer I expected, Cal, but with more than I expected bonus material. Good stuff.

It looks like a very interesting razor both in titanium, brass, and aluminum. However, a razor which requires me to ride the cap is not going to work for me. Go steep or go home.

I just ordered a tub of the CF unscented soap. "Natural" I think they call it. I was tempted to order a razor, too, but held off.

Thanks and happy shaves,

Jim

I've been waiting on Cal's razor count for a while now... I think I'll be waiting a while longer now... <eg>

I think I'll use this razor for my Fixed Four next month. I get fine shaves with it but they need improvement.

Soap: Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber
Razor: Blackland SS Blackbird on custom Olive Wood handle
Blade: FlyDear (3)

A superb shave.

The Ghost Town Barber soap was nice. Its scent was there but faint. It went well with the Whiskey Woods ASL.
It was nice to return to my "grail razor."


Happy shaves guys.
