But I didn't have to switch razors, just dial it down to "1"; and I ended up with less irritation. Strangely closer around my mouth.

The thing that stood out for me, was the complete rinse between passes. I usually smear the lather remnants with a wet hand. Your way made a slicker foundation for the rest of the shave. (Arko is pretty thirsty stuff.) Just having to follow directions reduced my number of strokes, which I think was helpful.<br /><br />What little irritation I experienced is probably attributable to the angle restriction of the TTOs. I didn't feel like I had any choice of pitch angle, just the one capable of cutting. But only the tippiest tops of my irregular skin surface were sheared.<br /><br />I didn't get the closest shave, starting in the hole, I feel, on pass 1. But it's even and clean-looking, and doesn't feel incomplete when you rub it. Well balanced.Thad Laundervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822588730840509312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515480284164565162.post-61618679620446329472015-09-17T14:14:41.822-04:002015-09-17T14:14:41.822-04:00I'm pretty sure I'm on the record (somewhe...I'm pretty sure I'm on the record (somewhere) as being generally opposed to "cookbooking" -- but since I have both of the razors, and am a fan of this particular chef, I'm going to give this recipe a try.
