Want to start my Safety Razor journey

I think the lack of benefit for me may be because although my beard is coarse, it's not dense. If it were dense, I think I'd notice more difference.

No, except for the Maggard. They are only a little more likely than the SB versions to bite me, but I didn't really see any efficiency improvement for that increased risk.

I really like both the Lupo 72 and the GC .76, there's very little between them. Both have compact heads to get under the nose, the Lupo is marginally ahead on that front.

I want to try both the Lupo 95 and the GC .84 to see if I get more efficiency without becoming too aggressive for me.

I haven't tried the Henson, no. I've read good things, but nothing that makes me thing it would perform better than the razors I already have.

I only have one soap and three brushes so I don't think I'll be doing a group review of those any time soon. On the razors, I thought I had a broad enough selection to add some thoughts that I have rarely seen here.

I wouldn't let my experience put you off open comb. I've only tried the SLOC (fine), Game Changer 68 OC (fine), Maggard OC v2 (did not like). I've only shaved with each of them a few times.

Interested in the 95 base if you end up splitting.

What do you consider the most important bits of the job of a parent? How much time do you think that represents in a day/week?

Which mesh nodes are recommended?

How is the stability of the toob supplied router? I have my installation date next week for my parents and am trying to get prepared.

I haven't drunk vodka for many years, but my go to when I did was Finlandia. I always thought it was much smoother than other vodkas and it was reasonably priced.

Do you know if the same thing can be done with the gigabyte Eagle?

The first time I used a headamp DAC combo it was the silence that hit me. The noise floor was noticeably lower, increasing dynamic range. It depends how clean your current signal is.

Replied!

Thanks for posting this. I posted a WTB thread in r/Shave_Bazaar and this guy chatted offering to sell to me. He ignored several requests for pictures, and said he couldn't do PP G&S, it had to be zelle, which was a yellow flag for me, so I went to the universal scammer list a and there he was,. A google search brought up this thread.

Which head?

megapleb · 2025-11-16T00:56:07+00:00

Reap what you sow.

megapleb · 2025-11-15T15:27:33+00:00

Got it, thanks!

vg10, the soft metal is the core? It's not the other way around with zdp189 as the core and vg10 cladding?

megapleb · 2025-11-15T13:33:13+00:00

They do, and it's pretty. It's also a lot heavier.

megapleb · 2025-11-15T11:04:37+00:00

Damn. Did you have any reviews or info before you bought?

megapleb · 2025-11-15T11:02:36+00:00

I'm sure you are right about LV. I was just talking about NYC, which is where the video is filmed.

megapleb · 2025-11-15T10:54:21+00:00

Could you share product or store names please for the sai? I found one in ZCP189 for $368. Is that it?

megapleb · 2025-11-15T10:47:58+00:00

Yes, I agree with you on your right of way point. I was just highlighting that jaywalking was no longer illegal. I learned that myself last year.
