I actually preferred the shave in the lighter, smoother 6c. But it was 100% Zamak and hence not very reliable. [emoji3525]

The weight difference between them is barely even noticeable for me. 100g vs. 118g
And Zamak gets a bad rap, and I’m not sure why. Granted, it’s not as good as stainless, but it’s much more affordable, and if you take care of your tools they will last a very long time. I have Zamak razors that I’ve been using for 10 years with no problems.

I hear ya, but every bit counts. Even lighter than the 6c would be good... Maybe a Rockwell 6T(itanium). Too bad its not likely coming.
Considering a GC now, because, this is clearly how I downsize my collection. Lol.
Once you find “the one” (or 2 or 3 or 5.....) you can get rid of the rest. I’ve got a lot of test razors to purge right now.
Then you have nothing to worry about .... I could shave with a different razor, every day, and not repeat for at least a year!

Yowch! I get itchy when I have a "surplus" of "unwanted" supplies. If I were anywhere near as many as you have, I'd be going bonkers. Lol.

Those vintage musk aftershaves look amazing. Were they produced with real gland juice?
One of my favorite musk scents is Stone Cottage Musk shaving cream, but I’m fairly certain it was made with artificial musk...

I'm sure you meant Astra DE, which is a copy of the Schick. I have a Schick Platinum and although it shaves exactly like a Krona I don't like the bulkiness of it. YMMV.
I keep hearing stuff like this about the game changer. And at the price...it looks like it is a must have razor for me in the future!
No doubt. At the price = no brainer. I always look forward to mine when it comes up in the rotation.
Great to see you here Scott! We are scheduled to be in Seattle again in September of this year. It was great to see you in the shadow of the Space Needle this last season and I hope we can touch bases again this year.
