Vib'Raz/Feather/MDC Gotta say I'm gobsmacked how effective this mild razor is, whether it's because or in spite of its roller cap. Not for those phobic about using pressure with a super sharp blade, it's a OneBlade Core that actually works.

SOTD TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 27, 2021

I’ll kick off today’s shave with an honest admission. I’m a 74 yr old Vic Creazzi (Bluesman blades) and Howard Schechter (The Perfect Edge) fanboy! Vic’s razors and Howard’s “Constroption” are both apex products. There's been a fair bit of controversy in straight razor circles around honing techniques. 98% of us use flat hones but a select few are now touting the benefits of convex hones. A core part of their argument is to point to the Feather Super AC blades and how no existing user of flat hones can achieve a comparable edge on a straight razor. I respectfully call bushwah! How anyone wants to hone their razors is their business! They’ll have to shave with whatever edge they create. All I know is that Victor Creazzi’s razors arrive with a Feather super level edge and that Howard Schlecter’s “Constroption” maintains them magnificently.

I own two of Howard’s razors, and find them both to be superb shaving tools. Today’s mug shave features my Victor Creazzi Shorty. I love shorties because they seem to work best with the swirling whiskers on either side of my Adam’s apple. The blade size makes getting at those problematic areas easier than with a longer blade. In any case, three slow comfortable passes and I’m porcelain smooth. One of the best kept secrets in safety razor shaving is the Ronson razor. Developed in the thirties with a built in leather stropper for the thicker carbon steel blades of that era, it nevertheless delivers an awesome shave when equipped with a Schick B-20 Proline Injector blade. Two ATG passes left your very contented narrator cool, clean, and oh-so-smooth.
