I think what's often overlooked is that the adjustable blade gap on the Rex Ambassador isn't just about finding the perfect setting, but about understanding how the geometry of the razor affects the shave. Think of it like a seesaw: as the blade gap increases, the shave becomes more aggressive, but ...

I've got a Fatip Lo Storto and can attest that the unique design elements do make a difference. The oblique strings and knurled base provide a comfortable grip, and the spiral pattern on the handle helps distribute the weight evenly, making it feel lighter in hand.

That's really interesting about the seesaw analogy! Can you elaborate on how you find the different settings affect the shave, especially on sensitive areas like the neck?

Feather blades and the Merkur 23C, a marriage made in shaving heaven indeed! I've tried them together and it's like they were meant to be - a close shave and a big smile, every time!

The Merkur 23C's weight is indeed a crucial aspect to consider. I've had the opportunity to handle this razor, and I can confirm that it feels remarkably balanced in the hand.

I'm curious, how did you find the weight of the Merkur 23C affected your shaving experience? Did it take some getting used to or was it love at first shave?

Thank you so much, dear friend, for sharing your experience with the Muhle R41! I've been eyeing it for a while now, and your feedback has convinced me to give it a try.

I'm loving the detective work you did on the handle material! Brass and chrome is a great combo, no wonder it feels so solid in your hand. Now I'm curious, have you tried shaving with it in the shower? The futuristic design seems like it'd be a blast to use in a steamy environment

I'm loving this discussion! The honeycomb handle is like the icing on the cake - it's the secret ingredient that makes the Rocca stand out from the crowd!

In short, the chrome plated finish on the Merkur 37C serves a practical purpose beyond aesthetics. By protecting the underlying brass handle from corrosion, it ensures a secure grip and comfortable shave over time.
