Noise from Jeff's Garage

Nice! I think I’ve only seen “rollers” on one other razor…a vintage Gilllette I think? Where the guard bar had rollers?

Fairly unique!

That's the Roller Guard, a much less radical design.

Can you feel the vibrating?

No, it's not like a Stahly, if the blade is vibrating I'm not feeling it.

Stahly/Falcon. Stahly rewards patience. I can't zip through the shave like with the Vib'Raz but results keep the Stahly among my favorites.

We're getting a great vintage razor education, Jeff. Fascinating collection.

Yuma and Dart/Treet Falcons. Fine materials and precision vs the other? Well the cheapo Yuma does just fine on the beard, very smooth with the Falcon, but needs a little help on the noggin where the Dart does better, though with considerably more care required.

It's a lovely day . Storm last night dumped a lot of leaves whose fate I'm pondering while listening to classical guitar on my listening room system. Leaves can probably wait another day.

Have a fantastic weekend my friend!

Spiral Curve/Falcon, smooth but not top tier in efficiency with the Falcon. Clean up head shave pass with the Shake Sharp which was exceptionally smooth this morning. I had to check what blades were loaded, twin Derby USTAs they were.

First flurries of the season seen briefly this morning.

Thus starts the season of snow pics where I’m jealous of the beauty but glad I don’t have to shovel it.

The head of the Falcon is so thin I can’t believe it

Spiral Curve you mean, Falcons are the blades. Yep quite maneuverable.

My bad! I was thinking that the razor would be maneuverable

Same here. Melted upon touching the ground.

The RazVite even on a fairly mild setting is supremely efficient ("dull" Derby blade notwithstanding", the mythology of sharpness), if not particularly comfortable. Stellar results in two passes.

The Famex/RazVite family of adjustable razors really need an indexing mark. Gotta find something.

Tom-X/USTA/MDC. Tom's razor feels a lot smoother than the Raz-Vite (it's a clone of the similarly toothed Famex). Fantastic single lather shave.

Le Coq caged head/Derby USTA. The caged head has extreme exposure and will tug or skip if not handled carefully so getting away clean with my head shave is always a relief. Great close shave with the USTA blade.

I've never seen these razor designs before. Fascinating.
