OliWorks Razors

I've left the Oliworks razor sitting on the shelf for several days now and decided to try Wally cigarman 's method of going first pass wide open WTG and then backing way down for subsequent passes. I did WTG 6.5, XTG 3.5, ATG 1.5 with excellent BBS results. No weepers, no discomfort.

It's just a matter of getting this razor dialed in to suit your preferences. The razor provides a very wide range to suit anyone's needs.

I have to say I have also had an excellent experience with the oiliworks and really like the different bars on the baseplate. This is something I was not sure I would like. I have used it multiple times and go the opposite direction from low to high on each pass with the clean up on 5.5-6 and the shave is incredible. I have found using the highest setting last with a light touch gets the trouble areas best. When I use the lowest setting last it always requires too much pressure to get bbs and gives irritation. Used a voskhod blade last night, with wet the face vanilla tobacco shave soap, Dons soaps are incredible in my opinion, a bbs with no irritation. I have the Rex ambassador which I love as well, but I have to admit the Oliworks has quickly become one of my favorite razors.

OLIBLADE AND ETHOS, A GREAT COMBO TODAY.

Today's shave was just wonderful.  The Oliblade and the Ethos Bay Rum provided a one-two punch to the stubble.  The shave started at 6.5 WTG then 4 XTG and 1.5 ATG.  Very minimum buffing was needed as it always is in the same problem areas.  I have seen some go in the opposite direction, I may try that with the next shave.  I have had zero problems with the Oliblade, and from what I am reading, the same is true for the vast majority of users.  This combo of the Oliblade razor and Ethos soap is a Winner.

For me, the real surprise was when I started on level 6.5 for the WTG pass.  The efficiency was obviously there and there was more blade feel, but it was extremely smooth.

I had the same experience with setting 6.5. Here's what I wrote after my first shave with the razor:

I opened the razor all the way to 6.5 for the WTG pass on my face. There was definitely more blade feel at that setting, but it didn't feel rough or menacing at all. I was impressed by how smooth it stayed.

Disclosure: I received a free razor from OliWorks.
