Another travel shave

leave a comment »

My photography is not very good this morning, but you may be able to make out the difference between yesterday’s travel razor (on the left) and today’s (on the right): the one on the right has the “shoulder” design (as in the Gillette NEW) that raises the edge of the blade a bit above the comb—and the comb is more curled over. In the razor on the left, the blade’s edge rests directly on the comb. I prefer the design on the right.

Two-razors

I loaded the razor on the right with a new Treet Black Beauty blade, and set about this shave:

I do love the Honeybee Spa Coffee Mocha, but today’s lather was not so good as usual. Not sure why. The brush? But the ebony-handled Sabini has always been good before. Maybe it’s just one of those things that prevent perfection from being a daily experience.

I have to say that, in these two shaves, the Treet Black Beauty has not been so fine as usual. Although today’s shave is quite smooth, I got a couple of nicks. I’ll have to try a Black Beauty in a regular razor for comparison. These travel razors are awfully light.

Still, a good shave overall, and I do like the Pashana finish.
