The Single Edge Gang

I'm in!

I only currently have two single edge razors that I recently acquired and have been working in to my rotation.

The Above The Tie Bamboo SE1 and the King Cobra.

I really enjoy both razors and am starting to get the proper feel for both of them. I would like to buy more SE razors in the future. Have been keeping my eyes on the Razorock Hawk!

I highly recommend you give a vintage SE that takes the Gem blades or an injector. Some can be picked up on the bay for ~$10-$15. They are loads of fun

I had my first shave today with the Ever Ready Shovelhead that I acquired through a trade with whiteboy_cannon and it was excellent! It was tasked with mowing down 4 days of growth which it did with ease, even though it was the 6th shave on the blade. I find the stock handle WAY too skinny and short though. It's a shame because it's got a beautiful art deco design on it. For the 2nd pass I swapped it out with my MR5 handle and found it could be the perfect combo for me. We shall see...

I agree the handle is small and skinny. Someone's I like the small handles and sometimes they just feel tiny. I'm glad it shaved you well. I'm sure it had no issues with 4 days of growth, that thing is aggressive and efficient. Good on you buddy

How does the shovel head look on the handle?

It looks really cool actually. I'll post a pic when I get home tonight.

Had an excellent 3 pass shave for my 4th go around with the Bunny. WTG, then XTG in both directions and only WTG on the neck. It was a DFS for sure with no irritation. Alum was silent for over a small mole that I mowed over. It was the first bunny shave where the chin and jaw were not irritated, still not very close there but I call this a win. I think what I have the biggest trouble with the Bunny is maintaining the proper angle while shaving the chin in a EtoW or WtoE manner or the jawline with vertical strokes. But for this shave I finally got the hang of it. I'll be able to speak more on pros and cons after a couple more shaves.

I will have to look into buying a vintage at some point. Probably could find a good deal on the bay. Just am stuck on all the new modern SE razors!

They are popping up left and right. The only modern one I have is the Rocnel. And the bunny but that isn't mine, only temporarily

The Rocnel SE50 or the half DE blade one? And how do you like it? Have been hearing a lot about Rocnel and have considered buying one but wanted to hear opinions before I purchased one.

The half DE one. It is a great shaver. The blade is held much more securely than one might think. It is a pretty efficient shaver as well. And being all stainless steal it is quite hefty. I recommend it, especially for the price.
