So I was able to find a standard gap WR1 with a Darwin handle. I wanted an SB but ended up with the OC after asking with the seller about how well the PC works. It showed up yesterday and after I unwrapped it and checks it out I couldn't wait to try it. I waited until this morning and loaded a fresh Astra blade. After lathering up with L Occitane Cade soap, I made the first pass. My first thought was wow, it seems like it's super smooth. For a second I thought it was maybe missing a lot of my two day scruff. I also felt like I wasn't in love with the Darwin.
After the first pass, I realized that not only was it not missing anything, it was cutting so well that I probably could have stopped there.
I lathered up and made the second pass anyway. When rinsing, I was surprised how smooth and not irritated my face was. Usually when I shave this close I remove the first layer of skin and feel it when applying aftershave.
All day long, I've been checking and just now starting to feel a bit of stubble.
I'm pretty amazed and looking forward to shaving again tomorrow morning.
There are days when I wish I could shave twice. This is one of those days
Now I'm looking forward to trying a BBS-1 to see the difference between the two.
