Today's shave was with a different razor, so I consider it interesting enough to post it here. 😁
1 pass head shave. It's not as close as with the Headblade, but way more comfortable. I stand firmly with my older statement: safety razors might not be as fast for shaving your head, but way more comfortable. Even the cheap black plastic Wilkinson Classic is extremely good for it, especially with the covered blade tabs.
The cheap plastic Wilkinson sword is generally surprisingly good!
Yep. Unfortunately, even with the cheap price they've cut some corners compared to the older razors - the metal piece inside the handle is shorter now, so it slides around a bit. Also it has become more fragile with it's closing mechanism - now it's more prone to break the plastic screw than it already was. I guess it's to push the sale of the Baili TTO razor that's now running under their Classic moniker.
Ugh, even the cheapest razor can be made even cheaper, apparently 🫠
