Noise from Jeff's Garage

I'm visiting family in California for the week armed only with my Shake Sharp mk1 , twin BIC blades, and Trader Joe's cream. No complaints.

Nice weather where you’re at! We’ve been having rain and clouds here in Santa Barbara.

More rain than sun here too, was lucky to get out to La Jolla and Topanga during breaks in the weather.

I haven't used anything other than the Shake Sharp lately and honestly I'm not tempted away, it's simply that much superior to any other DE and the form factor more likeable than my SE faves. TJ cream mixed with my homemade oil yield an unbelievably good one pass head shave. Twin BIC blades per usual.

Wardonia subs for the Shake Sharp and as expected does well. Close in efficiency, not quite as easy going.

Vib'Raz with vintage Wilkinson blade.

Vib'Raz with plate from my Japanese Bon OC travel razor, Kai blade (2). Very efficient, though because pressure is required it's not hard to stray into dangerous territory with a nick near my ear to prove the point.

Stahly/Kai (3). Worthy. Narrow sweet spot but patience and care rewards.

Have used the Tech OC the last couple days. With the Kai its performance is better than expected but nothing magical. With twin Kai blades the Shake Sharp just breezes through stubble the Tech leaves behind..

Great selection of razors! I'll have to dig my shake sharp out again soon!

And I have a King razor with a mech like your VibRaz..... never got the nerve to try it though.

Not my idea, credit Josh aka Subie Shaves, Winning Razor head on a working Stahly handle. Awkward of course but it does completely solve the weird suction issue with the head and delivers great results (Kai blade). Handle is in great condition and has enough juice to complete my usual multidirectional pass on my head. Will try this again with MDC as the little holes in the baseplate do clog with the oil/TJ cream I'm using lately.

Vib'Raz on working Stahly handle. Kai blade. Nah. Comfortable but not effective enough for me.

'48 Artistocrat AUS No 15/Kai. Very nice, pretty efficient with the Kai.

Rex Envoy/Schick Proline. Credit Josh aka Subie Shaves for the idea. Very mild but reasonably efficient. I'd prefer more exposure. Clean up with the similarly equipped Mark Cross which has a bit more blade to work with

Wardonia/Treet Platinum (Asylum RX handle). Pretty mild with the Treet on first use. Light pick ups with the Shake Sharp.

Heritage Gibbs (5)/Polsilver SI. Charcoal soap and oil only. Handling bites just like the original Gibbs but excellent results.

Lovely razor!

Gibbs/Polsilver (2). This day I preferred the vintage Gibbs to the Yaqi/Heritage prototype.
