TIMELESS RAZOR AGGRESSION HOW TO
If anybody knows how to take great photos of razor profiles, for the purpose of measuring exposure and gap I would love to hear about it. Was that luck? Are we both wrong? I literally have no idea. The only reason I have to think it might be correct is that somebody got the same measurements +/- 0.03mm with their microscope and AutoCad. Here is a photo I took yesterday of a Lupo. I still have no idea how to do it correctly. Everything depends on the photo, the lens skew, the focal plane, the centering of the blade apex in the lens, etc. Put more correctly, I can get the wrong measurements with pixel level accuracy. I can measure things with pixel level accuracy. I feed them into a program called ImageJ, which was developed and is still supported by the US National Institute of Health for taking measurements within microscope photos. I've been taking photos recently with a simple USB microscope. Taking photos of razor profiles is brutally difficult. The more photos I take, them more I realize I'm not even sure how to evaluate whether a photo is an accurate representation of reality.

So not a macho thing for me, I'm just at a strange end of the shaving spectrum.īig caveat - I don't shave my head, just my face. I like the AC blade format from my DX days for its rigidity, and I had high hopes the Vector might be my new "desert island razor," but it doesn't have enough blade exposure (or whatever) for my preferences/beard. Now I am on the hunt again - I realized the zamak on my R41 wasn't going to last forever.
It has pretty hefty blade chatter and feel, but it works for me.
TIMELESS RAZOR AGGRESSION DRIVER
Blade chatter with it is guaranteed bloodletting, but after a moment of carelessness with it one morning, I started exploring DE razors and coincidentally around that time the 2011 R41 was introduced, which became my daily driver for 10+ years. By way of explanation, a big chunk of my time wet shaving was with Feather Straight DX razors. I don't really mind blade feel or some blade chatter, and I think that is largely of product of my shaving "upbringing." I just like a razor that will get rid of hair in as few passes as possible. I guess I am using blade feel as a way to avoid wading into the debate over efficiency vs.
