Ruminations on the Edge

You know, it depends!
I got my last 2.0 with that closeout sale that Italian Barber had which made it a no brainer. It was ridiculously cheap for what it is. But at full price I would probably just stay on the 1.1 considering what you paid for it too.
But.. you know I have to try them all which means I personally would probably break down. That's just me though, not trying to enable!
They are different: The finish, handles (long vs. short & fat), balance and a slightly different shave.
I know you've been asking for quite a bit which means you're at the point of almost pushing the button! 🤣
Your call though!
Not yet on the button. I have a lot of razors in that efficiency zone.
 
Lunch at Konspira in Wrocław. Beef goulash, potato pancakes, beet salad, surowka.

I shaved a fortune
[opinion, of course]

I found the Green Cult 2.0 to be quite aggressive and very, very heavy. The excessive weight added to the aggressiveness. I was trying to offset that heft. The design is archaic, they should mill off a lot more material and drop the weight significantly.
I used mine with a Ti Crown handle, as you no doubt recall. That made it quite pleasant to use. But there was the added cost of the handle.
 
Made another pilgrimage to Barbercompany.pl, this time because my son wanted to see it. Truth be known I was more than happy to visit the shrine. Couldn’t leave without picking up a few crucially necessary items. Spent some time talking to the owner and when he realized I was a fanatic he threw in a bottle of Agiva (Turkey) and some vintage blades for fun.

I would get myself into trouble there.
 
1st night on vacation in Florence, Italy. Our Airbnb is a 17th century apartment near the Ponte Vechio. The Fatip and Saponificio Varesino were singing with joy in their home country (or maybe it was me who was singing). The Fatip is addictively comfortable. Florence is bathed in beauty. DFS+
