SOTD August  the 15th

Feather Artist Dx/ Kai captain protouch
Soap and As Meißner Tremonia moroccan rhassoul 

H&S P076 Ti DC vs my reference, Shake Sharp Mk1.0 (1945). Fresh Nacet in the H&S, two (yes two) of the same in the Shake Sharp.

My scale is packed but the combination of Bakelite and brass in the Shake Sharp yields a weight reasonably close to the titanium H&S.

Two passes on my neck, the H&S has the more aggressive feel than the ultra smooth Shake Sharp, both are exceedingly efficient, no real perceived difference between them. H&S handling is preferred going N to S here.

ATG pass on my head and the difference becomes clearer, the Shake Sharp feels more stable as it cuts through the coarsest stubble on the crown on the left side. The H&S has a bit of a harder time on the right (the two sides are a bit different). I do the final pick-up there with the Shake Sharp. Close call but edge to the old favorite but some of that may be familiarity.

Soap today (Grooming Essentials) was very nice, used way too much given these two razors don't need a relather on the cabeza.

I'll switch sides tomorrow.
