PAA Ascension Twist Adjustable.... Gimmick or for Real??

Stailess Steel handle so what's the head made out of? Cool copy of the Gillette Flair Tip handle.

Cast Zinc brother....

Mixed metal Ascension DOC/Kai (2) bottom+Treet (1) top. Another experiment using twin blades with a width differential. Worked very well here, smooth and efficient.

Yesterday was so good, only change made was swapping aluminium plate for the SS. Same twin blade setup (Kai+Treet). Superb!

How does using two blades compare to one blade?

Also, thanks to metal_shavings for his selling a SS Ascension to me!

Turns out PAA also has a few on the shelf that are not listed on the site. You can ask if they are still available via email to them.

I tried the normal blade on top of the Kai blade myself (tightened). It did shave, but it was rather uncomfortable, so i took the Kai out. One blade was much better, and you can turn up the efficiency as much as you like. Maybe two blades opened up a bit would be more comfortable? Something to try at a later date I suppose.

Why is it that this razor is so great? Opened up just a little, it is incredibly smooth and efficient, while still feeling very safe. Something about the severe curve makes the blade quite rigid somewhat akin to a slant. After a few shaves tightened down and opened up a smidge, I can say that the experience is very different. Tightened down is very nice, quieter and more efficient that a zamac Mellon. But opened up a little bit, it a smooth dream. The difference is quite stark. Hell, on a face off with a Soloedge (which I like), the comfort difference made me want to PIF the Soloedge immediately. I tried my Tile in a similar manner a few days ago, and I can't go back to it.

If you have this razor and have never opened it, give it a go!

(I did not like twin blades tightened. Will try slightly opened soon)

Edit: Tried the Twin blades opened up and bit and it was not so good for me. But thats ok, a single blade is really awesome!
