Iridian

Cool and slimy
Lambda Athena SS / Suneko Amorphous Diamond

I noticed that using for instance BIC Astor or this Suneko, both sharp stainless steel blades, gives noticeably better and also better than expected results. The same is likely true for the Ares which goes very well with the Astor, too.

@walpan your new user pic left me confused for a moment. ;)

edit: as people love photos and the Athena recently won a shaveout against the DSCosmetic AX 1.35 Ti, why not show and tell.

The advice on encountering a Mountain Lion is to stay calm, maintain eye contact and don't make any sudden moves. Exactly how I approach this. The head pivots so you can orientate it straight like a regular razor, but where's the fun in that? I actually prefer it on the slant. Taken carefully with zero pressure, you can get a wildly close, and pretty comfortable shave. But it's also very easy to damage yourself. I must've been feeling insecure in my masculinity today because I finished this off with a splash of St.John's Bay Rum, which must be at least 50% ABV. Refreshing!!
