AC razors are pretty boss. So are old old Gillette New Short Combs. The blade is held in a death vice. No chatter at all. Slants are good but they can be tricky to adjust to. Never tried a Gem. Looking forward to you next video.
Yes, I also have the Gillette new sc, which holds the blade absolutely securely, and the new razors are not as good as it. The next video is supposed to be next week, I made it a bit too long and it needs a little time.
@@jaspershaving Inspired by your video, I pulled out my New SC and loaded it with a fresh Wizamet. Chocking up on the handle (to ride the cap) really helps with a New as well. I am also exploring AC razors which are really fun as well.
Saludos Jasper, es un gusto volver a ver tus videos. Precisamente desde hace tiempo he estado indeciso en cual slant comprar, Razorock, Parker semi slant o la merkur, aunque esta última es más costosa. Cual me recomiendas. Nuevamente felicitaciones por tus videos de gran calidad y es un gusto que estes de vuelta después de tanto tiempo.
Me alegro de volver a verte. Pedro. Yo te recomendaría la Razorock 37c. La Razorock es una copia de la antigua Merkur, la Razorock es de 3 piezas y la Merkur es de 2 piezas. Creo que es un gran valor, un diseño que ha resistido la prueba del tiempo y funciona mejor que las maquinillas caras. La Parker no tiene mucha inclinación, pero tiene un capuchón cómodo. Las cuchillas de la Parker se alinean solas, las de la Razorock hay que alinearlas manualmente. Prefiero la Razorock, las cuchillas son más retorcidas. Nice to see you again! Pedro. I would recommend the Razorock 37c. The Razorock is actually a copy of the old Merkur, the Razorock is a 3-piece and the Merkur is a 2-piece. I think it is a great value, a design that has stood the test of time and works better than expensive razors. The Parker doesn't have a lot of tilt, but it has a comfortable cap. The Parker's blades are self-aligning, the Razorock has to be manually aligned. I prefer the Razorock, the blades are more twisted.
Pedro, La versión de aluminio de la Timeless es agresiva, si te gusta una maquinilla suave o afeitarte todos los días, entonces la versión de aluminio no es la adecuada. Me gusta el diseño del cabezal de la Timeless, pero el cabezal sólo está disponible en acero inoxidable y Ti. El verdadero valor de la Timeless es la versión de Ti, con un acabado especial que le da un tacto similar al poliestireno sobre la piel. Pedro, The aluminum version of the Timeless is aggressive, if you like a mild razor or shave every day, then the aluminum version is not suitable .I like the design of the head of the Timeless, but the head is only available in stainless steel and Ti. The real value of the Timeless is the Ti version, with a special finish that gives it a polystyrene-like touch on the skin.
Please, can you put the link to the website with all of the different blade characteristics, like sharpness and more that you use in your videos? Thank you sir.
DE blade sharpness tests can be found at refinedshave.com. For other blades, you can judge from the blade specifications, such as the Feather Pro Super, which is an AC blade with a final bevel of 19 degrees, it is 3 facet edge, the initial angle is 10 degrees, which is technically sharper than the Feather DE blade.For more precise figures, you can use the Edge-On-Up Sharpness Tester. The correct angle and blade material will determine the longevity of the blade.
Thank you brother. Just did my first ever shave without a cartridge razor today, using shavette with bic platinum blades. Thanks to your reviews, I chose the bic platinums and even for a first time shaver they were amazing. I cut myself much less than expected, but I practiced on my stomach first to feel the shavette angles.
