Greetings folks, I hope you're all in touch with your inner feelings.
Ok, my first shave with the Fine Marvel razor. I used a Voskhod blade, my Stirling Finest badger brush, and some Gummy Caribbean cologne to finish.
This was not what I expected. Looking at it the blade gap and exposure are a bit alarming. However I found there was very little blade feel and the massive safety bars helped the head glide across my face really easily. Very little audio feedback at all. I quite like to know where the blade is, so this was a bit unsettling for me. As such it was a surprise how efficiently one pass mowed through four days growth.
I did a second, across the grain pass and I felt smooth. A quick pickup pass and I was done. A bbs shave!
I think I'll reserve judgement on this razor. On the face of it, it provided a very smooth, very efficient shave. It was very comfortable to hold and use, I'm not sure I like the lack of blade feel and audio feedback. I can't help feeling that I got away with it this time. I did get a couple of nicks, which is unusual for me lately. We'll see.
I finished off with this Turkish Caribbean Cologne. Very nice.
See you next time. John
