Just a heads up if folks are trying to get ahold of Mohammad, he is dealing with a medical issue right now and has been for the last few days.

Nothing major and he will be fine long term but I wouldn’t expect to hear back from him for a week if I had to guess.

I hope he feels better soon, we all wish him well, aside from his talent to make exceptional grooming products, he's fine and respectable gentleman.

V35 update – the WOW!! Factor is still there.

I haven’t posted about every shave, but I have been getting incredible, bloodless, irritation free BBS shaves using the V35 preshave.  My skin has also felt better than ever.  To have a run of shaves like this is unheard of for me, so I can honestly say that V35 is still rocking my world.

A few of you may remember that I have been doing my version of “Fixed Four” (FF), meaning that I stick with the same soap base, razor, blade model, and brush for a month.  My goals have been zero pressure, proper angle, and training my non-dominant right hand.  I cannot recommend the “fixed four” regime too highly for people like me, who have more room for technique improvement that they might like.  It can be a boring discipline, but it works!

Today I ended my last month’s fixed four and with some trepidation, started a fresh and greatly revised Fixed Four configuration.  I have not seen PREP and POST included in other Fixed Four regimes, but under the circumstances, I will continue with V35 after a hot water sponge soak for PREP, and a brief warm water rinse for POST (nothing else; no witch hazel, alum, aftershave, etc.).  I was curious to see how well the V35 worked for me with a greatly revised soap base, so I switched from Declaration Grooming soaps to Castle Forbes creams.  I also switched from my Muhle V2 synthetic to my Shavemac 2B ST and , holding my breath, switched from my much loved Blackland Sabre to a Feather AC shavette.  The shavette is a BIG jump for me, especially with the non-dominant right hand, so there is a “backup razor” for when the going gets tough.  There is also a second brush, a DS Cosmetic 2B ST: If on some day I feel the need to let the Shavemac dry, I will substitute the DS.

So today, on my first go with the new FF configuration, I was a bit rushed and still got a DFS – very near BBS.  And although this thread is not about the (controversial) OneBlade Genesis, I must say that after two shavette passes – both using the right hand – I finished up left-handed in very quick time using the OneBlade, and with great results - no irritation, no blood, and a very nearly a BBS shave.

It was a very happy shave for me.


FYI I have repeated very nearly the same post with a photo here.

HighSpeed, is there a V35 or are you using the V32? I believe the next version Mo is working on for next year is V33...
