Dave in KY's Videos and Hangout

Maybe you missed when I uploaded earlier, but here are the non Floating Head and Floating Head Heavy razors side by side. The NFH is the same geometry as that used ih the '34 bakelite handle two-piece, and in the later three piece Coopers. The Conrad patent drawing reflects this NFH design.

I find the gap/exposure of the FH just spot on for me, great feel and efficiency without being threatening. The additional heft and exposure make it a good step up from excellent contemporary razors like the Gillette Short Comb.

Thanks Jeff. So the bump up (circled in red) on the base plate holding the blade a little higher gap wise is the difference if I am understanding this?

Yes it's the channel ahead of the safety bar that alters the gap and exposure on the FH.

Razor: Barbasol Floating Head
Blade: Wizamet (2)
Brush: Rubberset 400/Oumo Boar
Soap: Barron's Choice (Current 1508.5)
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: CHH Tobacco
Fragrance: Scuderia Ferrari Black
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 949

Continued with the Baron's Choice which is such a nice creamy slick soap and fresh clean scent. Another shave with the Barbasol Floating Head razor an better yet as I didn't push the buffing. I got a super smooth shave and while i can see some considering this on the aggressive side, I had no trouble getting a stellar shave and it could be a daily driver for me. I'd like to add one to the den but am in no hurry to over pay now that I got to use one. Again my THANKS to Jorge jorvaljr for trusting me with his and giving me the chance to make an informed decision on getting one for myself. I know there's one on the popular auction site but I can't see paying their price. I want one and will buy one eventually but it will need to be sub $100. Thanks again Jorge and hope your vacation is going well ! Everyone have a GREAT Day !!
