Great video! I have been deep in the world of modern offerings with back to back pass arounds and writeups/comparisons. I appreciate that you took the time to present considerations on the alternatives. I have always enjoyed the aesthetics of the original Gibbs. How would you rate the efficiency of the Heritage (at its highest setting) vs say the Blackbird Ti or a Schick Adjustable (at its highest setting) with twin injector blade?

BTW, I need to get focused and complete some reporting on the Shake Sharp, now having tried a few different blade combinations in both single and shimmed blade configurations. I made an off hand comment the other day that the Tatara Nodachi Ti I am currently evaluating reminded me of a mix of Blackbird TI and the Shake Sharp. There is something unqiue about the "feel" of the Shake Sharp.

P.S. I recall your public statement in 2022 to Frank, in which you asked him to hold back the now released soaps. Just in case this thing ever goes to trial Smile
Thanks, I don't have n adjustable injector anymore to compare and while the Heritage is nice it is in no ways on level with a Ti Backbird in smoothness or finish for me. Enjoy your journey thru the Modern offerings !

I need to try and kill some soaps this year and may make this my 1st 1508.5 for the year. When I did this a couple years ago I was able to retire 6 soaps that year. Have a great day everyone!

I second that emotion!

And that could not be a more well-chosen selection of kit for the tribute, right down to the German aftershave IIRC.
