Hi all,
I had a lovely Shave Tonight with the Alpha Shaving Stubble vs Steel Guido razor using the open comb base plate.
I'm not going to go into the razor in much detail as I'm pretty sure @Errol has one and will go right over it.
I will say its a nicely build razor and pleasing to the eye.
The open comb plate gave me a very close efficient shave paired with the Wizamet blade.
One pass WTG/ATG Done! clean as a whistle.

Cheers.

The Shaving Cream is actually Proraso Cypress & Vetyver Shaving Cream.

Yes, I received my Guido last week. I was planning on using the SB first so please let everyone know your thoughts. It will be a while before I do a review, looking forward to your thoughts.

Hi Errol, no worries I’ll use the safety bar for my next shave and let you know mate.

That razor is worth having just for the handle. Probably the prettiest barberpole I've seen.

Ahh the E-bar, they are very different to a normal DE safety razor, but I'm surprised how quickly I adjusted -



The APR Fenchurch is just sensational, I had forgotten just how magnificent it was!!!

You need another bloody gemmie style razor, get yourself an Eveready Streamline 'Jewel' or a Blackland Sabre v2.0.

Hi all,
I had another lovely Shave Tonight with the Alpha Shaving Stubble vs Steel Guido razor using the safety bar base plate this time.
I found the the Guido was very slightly more efficient with the open comb base plate (my opinion only) but as for smoothness
it has to go to the safety bar base plate I am in agreeance with @lu20vt on that.
As I stated previously @Errol will no doubt do a full review on this DE razor.

One pass WTG/AGT Done! no nicks no touch ups no worries.

Finished of nicely with Ogallala bay rum and sweet orange splash.
Enjoy your shave.
Cheers.
