Gentlemen,
This may come as a shock to you all but until today I had never used an Open comb razor. To say I was nervous would be an understatement after what I have heard about OC razors. Included with this razor where various blades and some soap samples, One of which I had never tried "RazoRock XXX".
Visual the Seygus Brass Razor is an Absolute Cracker.
My EJ89 weights 76g but this is 107g.
The Handle is a big chunky and provides a secure and comfortable grip even in wet hands.
Although it is not my cup of tea it is very good all the same.
On the Seygus site there are other handles such as the spiral but how much grip it has is unknown.
Let's get on with the shave,
I used a
Gillette Nacet blade,
RazoRock XXX shaving soap and Alum bar.
My old
SLBB "Sh***y Little Bager Brush" and the most Beautiful
Seygus Brass OC.
And 3 days growth.
I normally shave with an EJ89 and need 3 passes + a little touching up.
First pass:
WTG It cuts so effortlessly and is as Mild as my EJ89 but So much Better!!!!
I cannot believe how good the first pass was.
Second Pass : Is across the grain but rising upwards slightly.
I can feel the teeth but not the blade. It works so well, I love it.
Third Pass : There is
No pass needed. No bloody hair left.
This
Seygus Brass razor is Phenomenal,
It cuts
effortlessly, It
weight is just right, It has
great grip & Looks
Stunning.
The Only Fault I can find with it is,
That It has reduced my shaving time by half
Absolutely love this razor, better start writing my letter to Santa.
