Down the rabbit hole

Super close shave today, I forgot how Keen this razor from @thecajunblade is and got myself on the very first stroke of the shave 🤣. Not just once but twice on the first stroke, i start at my sideburns so when I felt the bite I lifted up the blade and got my ear. Other than that it was a great shave. Bbs on the cheeks in 2 passes and DFS on the neck in 2 passes. Used the Aristocrat which i managed to date as 1946/1947 with the help from razoremporiums razor archive site.

Used a Blackland Vector for the first time and I'd be willing to sell most of my DEs to get my hands on one. I put a kai captain titan mild (Pink) i don't know what the mild means, 2 pass BBS shave. This one is only borrowed, my buddy bought one years ago and hated it. I told him I wanted one not knowing he had one, he agreed to let me borrow it and possibly sell it. But first he used it for a week and he realized that it's actually a great razor and doesn't want to sell it anymore. Ohh well, I'll get one eventually, I might ask for one for my anniversary this year, it is my 10th.20250405_152807.jpg
 
I've not posted for awhile, I've been working with the borrowed vector and my 3ONE6 and straights. What I have found is that the vector gives me the best shaves, the 3ONE6 gives me my fastest no thinking shaves and a straight gives me a fun shave. I can do 2 passes with the vector and be BBS minus my cleanup spots. With the the 3ONE6 i need 3 full passes for BBS and with a straight i at the moment can not get BBS without a lot of irritation. I think its just the way my hair grows on the neck, i can definitely get closer the more i do it. Straight shave #5620250411_111809.jpg20250414_054834.jpg
