****SPOILER ALERT to Soap Testers****
Today I decided to use just one of the soaps as I would normally. They are the same except for 1 with Lanolin and 1 with Shea Butter. Not sure which I had but to me, they were nearly if not identical in yesterday's shave that I don't think it would matter. Had a great shave and went with a low structure lather that was wet and SLICK. Post shave feel with nothing is VERY nice, soft and supple ! I will try again tomorrow with this method of loading the brush but again with a synthetic and see if I can get a thicker structure while maintaining hydration and slickness. The Ronson was a great close shave now that I feel it afterwards. I think the injector blade may not be my favorite that I had loaded in it and will need to try another shave with my preferred Injector blade. I don't care for the shave angle it requires to hold the razor at but you can't complain with results like I received.....................................YES I canGREAT shave but I would take either of my Shake Sharps over the Ronson ANY day. Still a cool piece of history built to last multiple lifetimes. Have a great day everyone !!
It sounds like it worked better for you this time! I will watch your video later this evening and get the play-by-play comments. Funny, I don't notice the angle that much, but I don't shave my chin and I use the moustache razor to trim the fur under my nose. The wife doesn't like the moustache to grow up to my nostrils! ?
