West Coast Shaving "Lithe" razor head - Yaqi "Panda" two band badger brush 

Hope you try the other two.i got all three. I find um awesome

Hi Michael- Great shave and razor/brush review; thank you! I enjoy using the Lithe razor head, but it is definitely on the less aggressive side, for me, but does quite well with a Kai or Feather blade. It’s definitely unfortunate that Elvado is no longer in business; I have a single tub of their Mayan Vanilla and Almond that I use judiciously and only every so often in an attempt to forestall the inevitable. Well, I hope you have a great week ahead and best regards, as always!

That's a mess when a man feels so Fancy holding his pinky out while using a safety razor.haha thanks again for the chuckle I appreciate it. Hope someday I can return the laugh bud.

I can understand why you may not like how this razor head feels in the last pass, but in my personal experience with it, I get an incredibly close and comfortable shave throughout the whole shave. I did, however, have to put a more aggressive razor blade than I usually use with the best results being with a Gilette Platinum. I also messed around with multiple handles and ended up really enjoying using the lightweight Rockwell 6C handle. I am a daily shaver and have somewhat sensitive skin and usually can not go any higher than using the R3 head on my Rockwell without getting irritation on the ATG pass, but with this head I had multiple BBS, irritation free shaves doing 3 passes and a pickup pass. The angle of the head does help, but sometimes I need to adjust the angle to get a closer shave and I don't feel the shave getting less comfortable. However, YMMV like always with this hobby. Hopefully, this helps provide a different point of view than Michael's. Great video by the way Michael. Really love the look of that Yaqi Brush.

Great video Michael!

Have had my eye on the Lithe Head. Always thought that brush was cute.

Hi Michael. Yeah, you and Jerry Seinfeld a couple of real "fancy boys" lol. Don`t know if you saw that episode? I don`t know, I think most new wet shavers find the angles before to long and to try and compensate with a razor that might turn out to be tricky even for an experienced wet shaver, maybe I`ll just spend my money elsewhere. Interesting idea though. Thank you.

I pass on that head, but i have the handle which i love. Very cool looking and weight. Knurling is nice too. Wishing you a great week!

Nice review Michael💈 "Training wheels" on the razor, that's what I told Kevy Shaves when he reviewed this head a couple months back😊 True though, some new wet shavers can't get the angle while learning and every little bit helps. For a seasoned wet shaver, probably not an acquisition🤔 Great video. Enjoy!

I ordered one of those Fine Marvel razors about two months ago. It is a fantastic razor in my opinion!! I like to use my favorite blade, Astra superior platinum, in it! It has nice weight to it and a unique head. It is different from that Lithe head. Jim G.

Another good look at a new razor head! I found the Lithe nice, but a bit aggressive; I got a couple of nicks early on. "Defected" to my Rockwell 6C on the 3 plate for the next two passes. I think I may have been going a bit quickly. The Lithe will get some more tries, though, as I'd like to try some different lathers. I did use a new Rockwell blade, which I find to be a nice blade in general. Also, I was using Phoenix and Beau Iceni for the first time, my first use of a P&B product. That part was nice, in terms of both lather and aftershave.

I bought the Fine Marvel based on the head geometry. It looked designed to find the perfect angle. I gave it into a raffle because it was so aggressive for me, yet so many, including yourself, find it great to use. As you say, what works for one...

Castle Forbes runs for 31 euros in Greece. It is ridiculous if you consider that Siero from Wholly costs 25$. And don't tell me that CF comes in 200gr glass jar! Maca Root from BodyShop if you have tried it, it is much better. PS This knot from Yaqi is a lather hog, for God's sake! Eats all my soaps! So, Marvel razor next?? Fantastic.
