Super Speed week begins with a fine shave

with 4 comments

This week is Super Speeds. I begin with the flare tip above. This new Nikon doesn’t focus terribly well, I notice. So it goes.

The Wee Scot had no problems producing a very good lather from the Mitchell’s Wool Fat, and the Super Speed with a previously used Rapira blade did a good three-pass shave. I don’t find the Rapira so sharp as some of the other blades I use, but of course YMMV.

A splash of Shaving Shop, and I’m ready to get to work.

  1. Which Nikon exactly was it that you ended up with? I thought you were considering the Canon with 35x optical…

  3. Is it possible that you were in Manual Focus without realizing it? I hear focusing manually with that machine can be a touch fiddly.

  4. No, it was doing autofocus, but not very well. I have tried manual focus and it’s better.
