I wanted to try a KAI today but, since it’s been nearly 5 days since my last shave I stayed the course with the Feather Pro Super. Plus, the whiskers were mean and raucous just egging me on daring me in fact. Showered up, prepped my lather and got down to some serious whisker whacking business. The duties for providing the glide, slickness and overall skin protection for this shave is arguably the best soap from Ethos Grooming, Dragonsbeard V2. The protection that this stuff provides is just simply ludicrous. It should be illegal to have this good of a lather on one’s face. Elite level product, plain & simple. Lather applied now razor to face. The feel is something similar but, not quite to a Cobra Classic. The Pro Super gives this beauty of a razor that nice little edge without going over to far on blade feel. Present but, super smooth and still providing a comfortable feeling shave. Nearly 5 days of growth was gone in 2 luxurious yet extremely effective passes with a final touch up pass just to use up some lather and catch a straggler or two along the jawline and the Adam’s Apple area. For those that have had the opportunity to try or own a Paradigm Ti SE, take that same razor and marry it up with a Cobra Classic. You get both in the smoothness and comfort of the Paradigm with the efficient cutting ability of the Cobra Classic, just better with a flow or fluidity of the La Faulx on the skin that is unique yet so effective. The handle on the La Faulx gives the right amount of tactile feel where one can adjust their hand with relative ease and is nearly second nature. Handle length is just about perfect for me with weight distributed evenly throughout the whole razor.
I will get a shave or two more in with the KAI then get it ready for the next and only pass around participant at the moment and will contact him shortly for shipping info. My summation of the razor will come a few days down from now. I have been impressed and seduced simultaneously by the La Faulx with its performance and fluid design with its distinct guard feature that is unique and all its own.
Great shaves to all….
