MWF - Zebra Wood Silvertip - Rolls Razor - GFT Marlborough
I decided to rehone my two Rolls Razor blades last night. The blade I used today was honed on 12, 9, 5, 3 micron lapping film and was finished with 2 layers of paper under 3 micron film. The edge was nice and sharp and quite comfortable. I was a little suprised by how comfortable it was today.0 -
MWF - Semogue 1520 - Rolls Razor - GFT Marlborough
The second of the two Rolls Razor blades that I honed was used today. This one was honed on 12, 9, 5, 3, 1 micron film and then finished on 1 micron film with 2 layers of paper under it. The edge was a bit smoother than yesterday but that did end up with me over doing the amount of passes I should have done and giving myself a bit of a raw face.0 -
Sometimes you think of 'daft stuff' and you know it's daft.. and don't do it. Sometimes you accidentally do something daft and have a laugh afterwards.
Then sometimes.. you sort of know you're about to do something daft, continue to do it.. and your brain keeps telling you that you're doing something daft, while you're doing it, like the alarm on an old school digital watch.
I picked a handfull of these up in South County Dublin. Very reminiscent of a Gillette Knack, from the 1970s. The seller acquired the razors with a large batch of gynecological equipment. *cough*
They look unused, I hope they are.
The blade gap is scary. Feather light razors, which makes the handling of the razor very disconcerting.
Back to my normal razor..0 -

How did it shave anyway?
Rawhide.. Never again. I had a big red face on me for the entire day. I was in a foul mood because of it. Just like this 'smiley' ---> :mad:0 -

Sorry I don't have a picture at the moment but I went for a total minimalist shave this morning. One single against the grain pass (across the grain on chin and tash only) with just a single splash of water at the beginning of the shave, no cream or soap! :eek: Believe it or not I ended up with no irritation or redness either, close shave too! Took about 6:30 mins Just wanted to see if it was actually possible to have a decent shave with minimal setup. Obviously it's a more enjoyable experience with lather and the razor glides over the skin much easier but I wanted to see if it was possible to do without irritation. I suppose it's a good sign that the razor is nice and sharp if it can do this. I'd like to see someone try this with a fusion razor ha ha! 0
