Holy Moly that’s close!
I was apprehensive about the outlaw. I put off buying from the outset having read/watched reviews and thought it would just be another hyped overly aggressive razor.
I ended up buying both M and Regular heads on the Bravo handle in a deal because I wanted the El Gordo brush.
I used the M plate and was surprised to find that the blade feel and efficiency wasn’t “aggressive” at all? The sound of the blade doing it’s stuff amplified through the razor head is something else!
The result from three passes with no need for pick ups is so close I doubt I’ll need to shave again for a week

Pre - Sainsbury's Luxury Soap, Bergamot & Nectarine
Brush - Simpson Wee Scot Best Badger
Soap - Signature Soap Danum
Razor - Blackland Brassbird
Blade - Personna Med Prep
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Barts Balm Ben Lomond - Cinnamon & Patchouli
A/S - Signature Soap Danum
Now then, with the arrival of the Bronze Athena, the Brass bird, being it is my only modern brass razor now as all others have been moved on, was on very thin ice so it has had a run out to help my decision on whether it stays in the den or heads to BST?
I do love the "challenge" of using the Wee Scot, however, he never fails to impress me. Pairing it with the Wonderful Signature Soaps made the lathering very easy. I basically fully dip the small knot then give it a light shake then load up, it does take a little more loading of the soap due to its size then onto the chin, just dipping the tips and working in the soap, the brush was absolutely brimming with the good stuff and i had a wonderfully scented, slick, thick covering on the chin in no time at all.
From the 1st stroke i knew the Brassbird was staying, so easy to use, very efficient and still smooth and comfortable. It is a totally different shaving experience on the skin with that slight blade feel while giving very similar results as the Athena - YMMV of course.
The reprieve signed off i carried on with the shave and really enjoyed it, i completed 2 full passes and as i had the lather completed some touch up here and there for a very clean, deep, BBS finish.
A nice post shave routine finishing with the Signature soap splash.
Yeah, nice that.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
