Chris is punishing us with a blackout game..... he deserves to be bumped down!. Kyle was maintaining spacing..... at this point I just think even numbers are bad luck!

I know, I know, you're maintaining spacing

I honestly think you may like this razor
Maybe. I keyed in on the fact that you said that it had blade feel and had your attention, and if you lost attention it might bite you... That describes everything I hate about razors.

That's what throws me about you. Old Types have blade feel to me and worse than this RFB. In any case I'm glad you're trying it and think you'll like it
I don't get it either. Because in an old type the blade is perfectly sandwiched between the top cap and base plate. It is literally resting on top of the combs and there is absolutely no blade gap whatsoever..... so I don't understand it feeling aggressive.That's what throws me about you.

I guess it is the open comb I have and you have to consider blade exposure. All I know is the Single Ring I have will bite me good if I don't respect it............
Is that the only Old Type you have?

Yep, have also had a Goodwill, ABC Shell, Other Single Rings and a Property of US Army but all were the same and OC's. The Roller bar was a game changer for me so maybe that is the problem (OC's)
Oh, OK. My ABC and Property US Army razors are two of my favorite razors. I use the Army one all the time. That's generally the one I speak of when I talk about the mildness of the old Types. I do see to recall my single rings feeling a bit more aggressive.

If I ride the cap as some do to mellow them I don't get and efficient shave. I can shave with them but not a favorite. Glad you enjoy them

I've basically had 2 phenomenal shaves with this baby and have 1 coming to me so I'll get this off to Kyle today or tomorrow. Thanks again @The Monkey
If you have time for one more shave throw the head on a heavy handle. This is how I enjoy it. This is something you cant do with your 2 piece.
Ooooooh.... The plot thickens. Trying to get Dave to buy another razor!!!!!

2019 Shave # 230 ( 283 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: RFB with CG Brass Handle
Blade: Kai SS (9)
Brush: Sorrentino Orange Crush/Cashmere
Soap: Dr. Jon's Arctic Hydra
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2 : Skin Bracer
So @The Monkey told me I would be served a disserviceif I didn't try the RFB with a heavier handle as the one coming to me is the 2 piece model..................alright, got a shave in this morning with the RFB and my Stinger CG Brass handle. Heaviest handle I have and got a tremendous shave. It had me chasing and catching the
who after his dance was last seen riding a dolphin. Thanks again John for the chance to try this awesome piece of history. My 2 piece arrives from Greece today I believe. I'll watch for a 3 piece if a nice condition pops up at a reasonable price. Yours has been cleaned, disinfected in alcohol and dried before packing to mail today to Kyle. Video is uploading now. Have a great day Cadre !!

I don't like aggressive either, but the RFB is a beautiful, smooth machine, IMHO!
I keep forgetting you are not in the US. Not sure why since it's right in your signature lol
