Thanks Ian
That will give you plenty of time to change your preferences.Just signed up for the waiting list.
These razors entrigue me.
Position 565.
So probably 2019 ................. or beyond
A few days later and something went click. I’m getting amazing smooth shaves from this now. If other baseplates had been available, I wouldn’t have persevered.TBH it's almost certainly too much for me too
Yeah. A razor in the future for me.That will give you plenty of time to change your preferences.
Congratulations, Simon, and the Lvl3 is certainly a close shaver. Although I never once cut myself, I always felt on tenterhooks throughout the shaves. Great razor, just didn't enjoy the experience. I'm sure a Lvl2 would have suited me better.My gradual love affair with the level 3 OC continues. I'm not someone who seeks out super-aggressive razors, and this would not have been my first choice, but it's what came up for sale. I usually prefer SB to OC. I would have been really happy with a level 2 SB.
However, the level 3 OC is a very surprising razor. So far, I have never nicked myself with it, nor experienced any irritation. During the shave, it sometimes feels a bit scary, but I think perhaps that's because I don't like OCs and there's a lot of blade feel. After the shave, the BBS feeling lasts much longer than most razors.
This morning, I shaved 3 passes, all of them against the grain (!) except under the nose where I always go XTG.
Pass 1 - my god, I could go to work like this and it would be as close to BBS as a 3 pass with many razors
Pass 2 - OK that really cleared up absolutely anything that was left over
Pass 3 - pointless but fun, I'm just polishing a dolphin here
I think this might be the best shave I've ever had.
why's that?They are exceptional razors, wish I had just stayed with the Lvl 2
My feelings on the lvl3 also.Although I never once cut myself, I always felt on tenterhooks throughout the shaves. Great razor, just didn't enjoy the experience.
I would of been perfectly happy with it as my only razor if I hadn’t tried the 3why's that?
