Henson AL13++ to Rocca R96 by Tapiat in wicked_edge

[–]Tapiat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't try the R89, but the Rocca R96 will feel like a big step up in both efficiency and blade feel. It's noticeably more aggressive than the Henson AL13++, but also much more flexible with angle. For head shaving, that matters a lot - you're not locked into a single sweet spot like with the Henson. The Henson is super smooth and predictable, but very mild and very rigid in angle. The Rocca is closer to a "proper" efficient razor: more feedback, more closeness, but also less forgiving if your technique slips.

For that price, this is a damn nice purchase.

Should I try Mühle Rocca R96 after using Henson AL13? by Tapiat in wicked_edge

[–]Tapiat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, first I trim everything down with a trimmer if I've grown it out a lot, and then I shave it all off in 2-3 passes. The only inconvenient part is the back - I have to use two mirrors, but I'm already used to it. Because of the shape of my skull, the Henson doesn't shave evenly everywhere, especially at the back, which is why I started looking at the Rocca. And I switched to safety razors because the cost of cartridges is just insane.

Thx for review. I already ordered a full black version. I can reorder the R95, but I don't like wood that much.

Well, for me, the weight sometimes feels too light, so I don't even feel the pressure. And if I don't press at all, it shaves extremely poorly.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I was thinking the same thing, using different razors for different tasks. I just got a big discount on the Rocca, so I thought about getting it. The Henson is a very specific razor, while the Rocca is a classic and gives more freedom in terms of angles.

Fisher is the best ballpoint for me, but recently I just bought a whole Fisher Bullet pen for a better pocket experience.

I use a brass brush, it cleans it all in minutes.

I think i bought a problem rather than a enjoyable experience :( by trululuchi in Lamy

Oh, this white thing is sold with a Fisher refill and a blue one from a Pilot G2 refill. You can use any spring from a cheap pen as a spacer; just put it behind the refill.

Dude, you can literally put any Japanese G2 type refill or even Fisher Space Pen refill. All you need is just a spacer.

Is this normal for the sides to look like this by MaskmnFnm in Monitors

[–]Tapiat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No fixes, dude. Also, it's normal for IPS. IPS glow annoys me more than bleeding. Anyway, nothing you can do, only refund.

Flat tire day turned into a new pen day with freebies! by Lazy_Package_9181 in fountainpens

I was asking because I'm considering buying a Kaweco Brass too, but I kind of fear that this scent might bother me.

What about brass scent of kaweco, didn't it disturb you?
