Wayne

Forum Sod
I'm seriously considering the Colibri but would like some help on the plate to buy please. My current faves are the BB, the Nodachi and the Timeless Aluminium. With these in mind which plate would you recommend?
Thanks.

Get the full set Wayne, very versatile. I’ve been using the .80 and 1.1 for daily shaving and used the 1.3 on about 5 days growth this morning (first use, very efficient)

I just realised I didn’t answer your question Wayne :confused:

I had a Nodachi in the pass round and the 1.3 is quite similar to me

I have the Nodachi OC head and the Colibri 1.3 OC and SB plates. I find that the Nodachi has some, but rather small amount of blade feel and the Colibri plates hardly any. Efficiency-wise they are about on par for me, although the slight blade feel in the Nodachi makes it a little easier to keep the angle. With either Colibri plate, I can whip them around without much worry.

I would suggest going with the 1.3 and 1.5 SB plates Wayne. I would rate the BB as being in between the two of them and the 1.3 as being similar to the Nodachi, in terms of efficiency.

One thing I've learnt is to use EMS instead of Russia post as it's fully tracked and much quicker (especially in the current Covid climate). I would also purchase in Roubles instead of USD as the exchange rate usually makes USD significantly more expensive (it's easy enough to check the actual price difference by applying each to a Paypal basket prior to purchase).

Not tried any of those razors, but I've tried the 1.30mm and 1.50mm and I ended up buying the 1.50mm,lots of audible feedback but not aggressive and nice and smooth
