Shave off between my two most efficient (and honestly gnarliest) razors, WR1 0.94mm SS mirror vs Atelier Durdan No.7 1.2mm SS bead finish (frankenstein’d to a Timeless Ti TRH6 satin to tame this beast) … cushioned with an opulent pillow of A&E Maullu whipped up with a CH3. Both these razors are a step up for me from an R41 as ref.
Took them both for a quick drive using fresh Astra Superior Platinums to keep things consistent and calm. First pass WTG and you could easily have stopped there for a light touch up for BBS.
Finished my XTG/ATG to get BBS+ and likely 18+ hours stubble free… both notable alum sting.
The WR1 0.94 isn’t for the faint hearted, substantial blade feel and very direct feedback and a bit more toothy ATG under the nose.
I’m was delighted with how the handle swap on the No.7 from a SS La Maurice to the lighter Ti handle made the balance better and the shave feel a bit smoother and more controlled.
At 14 hours in, stubble still trying to find the light … both are seriously efficient tools
… maybe the WR1 takes the slight edge but when that’s wafting round your chops you know it!
