New Mulcuto Dual Comb. This is the third dual comb razor I have. Although similar looking to the Emir and Shavecraft, this turned out to be a totally different razor. This razor had almost no blade feel and I had to ride the guard more than I usually do and found myself stretching my skin more than usual. I found after the second pass that my touch up almost counted as an third full pass. I had to do a lot more work than usual, but ended up with a three pass near BBS.

Henckels Rapide Razor. I consider this to be the best of the wedge blade razors. It can use a standard Gem blade, but works best with a properly honed Henckels blade. Effortless two pass plus touch up DFS tonight.
I have been jonesing on these type razors for a while now and I am not really sure why. As soon as i can find a decent one for a $ I am willing to take a bit of heat for I am getting me one.

Weck Surgical Prep Flat Handle. Tonight’s shave was with the Weck Surgical Prep flat handle. Looks big, but actually very maneuverable and gave me a two pass DFS without any problems. The Weck blade was the original replaceable blade straight razor blade, preceding the Feather AC by many decades. It is still the best SE shaver between the two formats.
Oh, and Spider, take one of these in the morning and one at night and you'll be having good shaves in no time. ;-)

Pearl L55. The handle on this razor looks real cool but is really a brute. It is very long and heavy and makes it very easy to let the weight of the razor do the shaving for you. The Pearl OC is not the most comfortable shaver, but like the Fatip, you give up a little comfort to get a great shave. Tonight was a two pass plus touch up BBS
