Rocnel SE • Kai Captain Mild • Paladin • Wholly Kaw

That razor always mesmerizes me.

What would you call that handle design, art deco'? Myan? Cubist? Looks like something out of the 40's.

Hello everyone,

Review of the 0.5 and 0.7 plates - continuation of my review of the Number 7 razor from ATELIER DURDAN - ASTRA VERTE blade

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements in the spotlight today - a creamy, protective lather with the perfect scent ...

The verdict
The Plate 0.5 - it shaves very well, but with less smoothness and efficiency than the Plate 0.7 - it's really surprising - however, I find the latter too efficient for a daily shave - with better handling, a more adequate blade, I'd probably avoid a few blood spots

-> The ideal Plate? - Probably a 0.6 Plate, to be honest, which could combine smoothness and efficiency without being too effective like the 0.7 Plate for everyday shaving.

The design, the quality of the metal and the handling of the razor remain the strong points of this razor, without detracting from my Blackland Blackbird Lite.



Have a great day!
