What’s new to you?

Been wearing this one a few days now and it keeps very accurate time. According to the seller the mechanism was gone over, cleaned, lubricated and calibrated. Time adjustment is a little stiff but nothing bad. Very happy with it.

I dropped one that I had a few years ago. I really liked it. Never had it looked at, same thing I did to an old Seiko 5. They were both so cheap I just threw them in a drawer.

I should try to look up what I could do at home. Lol, nothing ventured nothing gained?

Almost forgot. This brush came in today from KnotHead Brushworks. It has a 24mm SHD badger fan from Maggard. Tim did a great job on this one [emoji122].

Just looked it up.... the Leaf looks ....Wow! I’ll be interested to read how the Twig works for you

the Henson was the modern, inexpensive DE solution for me.... maybe the Twig could be the SE razor I’ve been looking for?

 

[BarberDave]

interesting concept head looks a bit like an Occam interesting way to place the blade, look forward to your thoughts

It takes a half DE blade. I wouldn’t consider that a true SE razor.

It takes a half DE blade. I wouldn’t consider that a true SE razor.

Because?

 

[woodpusher]

Because it's a really DE blade, not an SE blade. That would be like calling all DE shaving "SE shaving" since you're only using one edge of the blade per stroke.

I agree 100%.

 

[Spider]

Because?

Yes to what Sam said. Also, I grab a SE razor because I want to use a SE blade. They are thicker and have a different geometry than DE blades and shave different.

What’s the attraction to artist club and gem style razors? Is it about blade feel? Not having two edges to worry about? The wider profile? I’ve seen people do reviews but it’s never quite sparked my interest for some reason.

@Soap Thing The blades are thicker/stiffer than DE blades. I don't think that I have ever had blade "chatter" from an injector, AC or GEM blade.
