Shield DE aluminum razor vs Razorock Lupo aluminum. PAA Classico bay rum 

@cr0sswalk you have tried them??

@thecaribert maybe you get irritation because the razors are too aggressive that can achieve a 2 pass shave? I find that’s the case for me. I can get a 2 pass shave if I omit with the grain pass. I find the across grain pass is rougher as the hair is obviously longer and more effort for the blade without the with grain pass to mow things down a little. The only razor that’s aggressive enough to get me BBS without irritation is the Parker semi slant with a 2 pass. I prefer a more mild/medium razor that can go 3 pass without irritation vs a more aggressive one with 2 passes works better for me. All that matters is you found what razor’s and techniques work for you.

@keithosmond5730 I have not. I had the Henson mild v1. Granted I was green back then but I did not like the Henson. I found the angle hard to work with & found it skipped. I picked up the lupo aluminum after it and liked it much better so I sold the Henson. I would be open to trying the Hensons again to see if was my lack of technique or just not a razor style if enjoy.

@gonoszteddmaci I am not sure what flavor he released 1st. Regardless he currently has both. I don’t see why someone would want the .95 with how smooth and low blade feel the 1.15 has. Any less blade feel it would be hard to tell if the 1.15 was cutting or removing hair.

@@Stubblemeetssteel Currently what I see in his Ali shop page with the 1.15 gap is his half-de SE head. The only DE head is the .95

@alspencer2794 kind of. I have the atomic bay rum splash but only the Classico soap. The “atomic” is spicier and more complex but again not from clove. I was hoping to really be wowed by the atomic splash sample but for me I found it’s the clove spicy note I enjoy. So if you like the bay laurel smell of Classico but want maybe a little more spiciness yet without cloves atomic is the answer. If clove is what you want. Stirling is my favorite or barrister and man bay rum soaps.

@@Stubblemeetssteel Thanks for the response. I have both Atomic Age Bay Rum and Stirling’s Bay Rum. One day Stirling is my favorite, next day it’s PAA. I’m on my second tub of each👍
