So I decided to do a Contour razor. I like how it feels to my face, and it is proficient at removing stubble!Do you mean this thingy that hold the blade? I've read that this can be fixed with solder. Never tried it myself so I have no idea how true or untrue it is. I'd ask the resident expert, Dave in KY .
The SOC boar did well on 2 passes. I like it, Mikey likke it, even if he does eat anything! Here is my first world problem: I love the synthetic knots, but the boar bristles retain warmth! O. M. G. I had forgotten about that aspect. I likey! Using a SynBad for the last pass startled me, as cool lather was applied. Time for the scuttle? Only time will tell.
Take care, my friends!
Sounds like a great shave. Regarding the brush, maybe it's time to keep a variety... Badger, Boar, and Synth? That way, in the winter you can cuddle up with a nice cozy Boar. Wait. That doesn't sound fun. I guess the scuttle is an option, too. Lol.
Have a great day Eric!

I had one and still do missing the blade stop. My buying learning experience. I've been told they can be fixed when soldered to hold a blade but as cheap as they are I preferred one that didn't look like it was a diy project so I never fooled with the solder as of yet myself. I'd say to solder a clump there and then file to same consistency as the other side is all it takes. Below for $9 shipped

Same thought here, as inexpensive as it is, I planned to look again! Folks report that it gives a shave more mild than the MMOC, which does well with me as long as I remember that it is not an injector! Thanks for the link, looking at it now.
