First shave with a KAI blade in the La Faulx. And I have to be honest here on this one. The shave was just not as good as with the Feather Pro & Super and even against the Schick Proline. Very mild feeling with what seems to be at least in my observations the least amount of blade exposure I’ve seen in the blades that I’ve used in the La Faulx. Blade feel was virtually nonexistent and that lead to extra passes and more work including applying a bit more pressure to get a decent shave. No irritation to speak of but, not an optimal choice blade if I were to establish the La Faulx to be my default daily shavIng razor. For me the La Faulx works much better with the Feather options & with the Schick Proline.

Great shaves to all….

Yesterday mornings shave.

Last shave with the La Faulx. Again, paired it with the Feather Pro Super. I can't sing enough praises of this dynamic duo. They just shave brilliantly for me. Regardless of growth whether 24 hours or 4 solid days worth, the La Faulx & Pro Super pairing is without question the best combo for my particular shaving requirements. Today it was just as though I've been shaving with the La Faulx for years as 2.5 passes were executed with complete and utter ease. No irritation, nics or discomfort of any kind. Just smooth and whisker free skin from cheeks to bottom of the neck. A stellar shave and results to back it up.

Prepping it to go as I was waiting for a new blade pack of Feathers to come in. My summation to follow. Great shaves to all....

From what I have been reading, it is probably a good idea to offer a more efficient version. But, will the other plates be available for the pass around?

The OC certainly looks wild and the looks of this razor are an attraction for me! BUT those teeth can be uncomfortable especially under the nose against the grain when clearing stubble from under the nostrils, which is why I generally prefer SB. I’d like to see a R41 style tooth/comb to see if that combines the benefits of both.

I’d also love to try the + and ++ plates on the pass around as this could be my next razor (loved the Durdan but enjoy AC more and only the Hawk OC has been able to compete with my Vector)

Gentlemen,
So then, is there a consensus on this razor? I would like to know if it is worthy of my Hollywood face. I have used just about every modern single edge razor made, starting with the Mongoose, and have yet to find any that comes near the Vector, mine in titanium, in efficiency and comfort. Perhaps this razor is a match?

No, not yet I would say.
There is a Passaround on DFS which you could join?

The development of the new base plates of La Faulx is progressing well, they will be available at the latest in two weeks but I would like to offer them at the end of the week on my site.
After several tests I intend to propose two aggressiveness + and ++ which will have respective blade exposure of +0.05 and +0.1 mm with variations on the GAPs. Open comb versions will also be available.

Great news!

Can you say what sort of feel you are going for with these plates. Will the ++ be on par with an asylum Rx or still an exposure and gap for the normal shaver?

And a second question if I may. Are you planning on making the additional plates available on the passaround?
