I guess, I still need to recall the best angle

With Fatip, I tend to find the angle easier from the bar, than from the cap... :-)

@ivanmuniz3288 I've had such a low blade sensation that I probably wiggled the razor too much

I did that at first, too. They're intended to work with this little blade exposure, and they do! From the bar, that bit of blade exposed is easier to place, I guess.

@ivanmuniz3288 With OC, I had that feel as well, teeth first, tilt until blade grabs and that is sweet spot.

We'll see ☺️👍

I might do ☺️👍 Comparing RR Silvertip BC which I'm using for 2y I didn't noticed any breaking, but doesn't harm trying

Thanks! 11.11 singles day is near, but not fully supported by Ali* some brushes are down to like 13-15€ but not all. Happy hunting 🧐

Can relate, I added my first zomchi blade (after trial) to Muhle Rocca and it was decent, slightly better compared with that "mild blade in mild razor" combo. Guess I'll feed them to some other blade-munching razors 😁

Yeah, more-less the same "89 ballpark" and not in a bad way, def. great coating, I'm so curious to see would it be durable as well

😁😁😁 ring of death... that deserves episode on its own! At least it'll be one step closer to next soap to tryout.

This is very insightfull response, much appreciated 🤗 Wasn't aware of that, and believed it's just some "wide-market" approach, to go with proven design, mild blades, playing a safe bet. You know how notorious price Fatip pay for its design 😁 But in overall, very nice razors from Zomchi, I hope they'll keep the QA at high levels

Huh... could be worth trying, just need to pop some 🍷first ☺️ Jokes aside, I've got no more Gillettes so I'll check the Perma-Sharps if they misbehave as well. I guess I could start using some balms for the skin, on these colder days. I'll def. call you out if this corking do the trick, thanks for the tip 👍

@@10floz30minutes nice sugestion.

Thanks oki, gotta make most out of least 😎

​@@Wicked-WhiskersGillette platinum blacks never really worked well for me. Too sharp and despite a mostly consistent technique, it would almost certainly nick.

@okiedokie_cool yeah, it's weird how some blades just work (or doesn't) despite all other variables

Ralon, nice 🇭🇷 splash, gotta try it next time when I go to Bosnia, saw it in many supermarkets, still unavailable at Serbia

@@Wicked-Whiskers Really good, it's like 2-3 Euros here. There are the Original and Sport version. Both leave the skin feeling smooth, and the scent lasts a long time.

@@davorsixstrings1642 Great ☺️ thanks for the tip!

@@Wicked-Whiskers also try ralon shaving cream. Similar to Brion but scent is bit milder

How performing is Balea? Saw them in DM as well as synthetic, so I almost buy them 😁 Luckily I discovered faulty handle Yaqi range

@@Wicked-Whiskers nice for the price, I use it for the mornin shave with shaving creams, just smear the cream on the top of the brush and do the face lather. I drove 220 km for brion creams and palmira cream and got the brush to :D

@@danijelblagojevic9572 😂😂😂 well, you gotta use the opportunity

Çok guzel 😁😁😁💈

And I guess that's all from my novelties, no more razors 🤗

I was just so curious to see how it'd work for 3$ or less, I think it was 280-290 RSD, got some FlyDears with it again 😆 I'd say it's even milder than other razors I have, only dislike is "how to clean it inside?" We have hard water and I guess the limescale would kill it at some point but, for 3$ to hell with it 🤗

Hi ☺️ Well, this is my finest boar brush and latest one I've had so I had pretty good back-knowledge about boars and comparison in that way might be tricky. I used it as in my breaking in b.brush video, so 2 days with day apart for drying (soaked in glass) and basically that gave it head start. After no more than 1mth it went full blossom. But it's Omega, and quality of bristles is way better than any I've had. Semogue i.e. had much harder breaking in and went full fluffy-floppy, while Omega kept backbone as new but 40% length of loft, from bristle ends is fully soft, nearly as synthetic. So the truth is somewhere in middle

@Wicked-Whiskers thanks, is that the omega 10098?

@@borbelyhaz321 That is correct 🙂

Got same feeling about single-edge razors as well, does feel and work differently but end results are such that I'm easily reaching to it more and more. I'm so glad that my instructions were helpful, I wish you many great shaves 🤗👍

Thanks for watching 🤗👍

So I'll be blamed then 😆 just kidding, I really enjoyed this razor, hope you will too, and if anything goes wrong please contact Pearl shaving. From couple of messages exchanged I really believe they are engaging and trustworthy to fix any issues. For you any returns would be even easier. Like said, I can't believe that mine works like charm and that doesen of youtubers got the faulty one. Just follow my guides on loading & handling and please, just for my curiosity - do let me know how it worked for you. Thanks you for joining the topic 👍🤗

@@Wicked-Whiskers absolutely, I will definitely update you how it worked for me. Ill quickly go find that loading video you mentioned now

@@icyjaam Just hold it with two fingers under bottom plate, light touch with thumb on top cap and let it center itself 🤗

@@Wicked-Whiskers Thanks for tip, it helped. The razor was delivered yesterday, and I did the firsdt shave iwth it today...I was scared at first given how heavy it was, and the way it smoothly shaved, it was a weird feeling, not bad in any way, just a bit strange compared to the cartridge razors which I have been using. The shave was a success, I did a few passes and there were no cuts or nicks, the blade was gentle on the skin, and I understood whic hangel was the best just with my intuition and I also got to know when to stop, as it would stop making scarping sounds when it had nothing left to cut. Overall the cut was very satisfying, it just took me more time to complete the session..but even without going against the grain (because I have a sensitive skin), the shave was smoother and there is no irritation, no razor burn. Thanks again for the review

@@icyjaam Great, nice feedback my man 🤗 My only advice is to keep working on lathering, it will help you on sensitive skin (I had too dry lather for most of my life), don't be shy by adding more water as you need. Lathering is my favorite part of process, even more enjoyable than cutting. My old barber used to say "well lathered face is half-shaved already" 💈

Huh, tough question. I'd say more manouverable, def. feels smoother, just a bit more efficient, closed ends, bit more shave angle span (R89 has narrow working window) and in my feel, somehow feels nicer. Like more modern version of it. And blade is less sqewed, so attack angle on skin is more direct. To me it feels like Wilkinson Sword upgrade more than it feels close to R89, but as shown - it can be driven quite fast and mindless

@@Wicked-Whiskers Thank you! Awesome analysis, as expected.

@@andrewkim333 Thanks 🤗 glad it helped. Like said I didn't choose this razor it was gifted so can't dispute would I buy it or not, but it is helluva razor for sure. Another "not love at first sight" but one of the first to grab when ih hurry.

super comfortable 🤗 must admit I didn't liked zomchi on first run as much as it grown to me after couple of shaves, true mindless shaver

That's why I always highlight Stay Traditional 🤗 Amazing soap. Wait to see it with bigger knots, like black yaqi... I could lather myself from head to toes 😁

When I stopped comparing it with all other razors and just focused on "as it is" it actually outperformed itself ☺️

@@Wicked-Whiskers wow, that's good

Thank you for hint! I hope you don't mind "branding" 😁 How's D8 compared with R89? I feel that S9 is bit harsher than Rocca, but as for FlyDears - I'm thinking on re-ordering another 100 or two 🤔

@@Wicked-WhiskersThe D8 is very smooth for me and more efficient than R89. But therefore und have to be a little more careful though it’s still very mild. Very good for daily shaves. I usually do one Pass against the grain with it. My favorite combination is with Perma sharp so far.

Thanks it's worth knowing 🤗 Have a great weekend R!

Thanks Alex, have a nice shave 🤗

They don't call it "wet shaving" without reason... Me and my poor Dad-jokes 😁

I can agree on that, it has nice feel and pleasant warm note for autumn & winter. I liked the green in summertime while white is for me easiest to lather but somewhat undecided (one size fits all, sort of feel) but I found them on discount and got all 3 😁

They are more than fine for the price but IMHO won't excel in each and every razor. For mild ones - I'd go for it, and probably would stack them if they prove themselves in Fatips 😁

@@Wicked-Whiskers Nice

Region is engaging, welcome my friend 🤗 Yeah, Merkur Progress is great "boring" comfort razor.

Hope you'll have an easy week, OAM is on my 88th shave so far, and it seems as I barely moved a few mm in the bowl. Just allow it to take as much water as it can, surprisingly good soap which I wouldn't discover if it wasn't pricedropped 😁 I only dislike glass jar, always affraid to smash it in bathroom. Astra is so underrated but such a thankfull blade to work with.

@@Wicked-Whiskers thanks for a reply. I have now more than enough soaps.. I have to pull the Hand brake. And for me honestly Stirling soaps are best bang for a Buck. Smell good, Nice performance for a good price.

@@danijelblagojevic9572 Yeah, agree on that. 170ml that last forever 🤗 for me maybe too strong scent (Almond creme) but exceptional performance. I've got a few soaps, stacked on discounts, but I see that all of them last way beyond my needs and consumption. I'd probably need one jar for entire year 😆

@@Wicked-Whiskers I have 30 soaps and stil 8 to come :( ... Stupid I know.. not counting creams in a tube. 15 maybe od them to

@@danijelblagojevic9572 You won't have boring shaves that's for sure 😎 I have Proraso tripplet, Stay Traditional, LPL, Stirling, Pearl Bliss, couple Arko's and a few creams. Still resisting to Mitchell's Woolfat 😁

Another one with "research" topic and lessons-learned consequences 😁😁😁 1hr later, skin is as good as new. Guess just some blade wear-off, super-accelerated with Rocca's pronounced blade overhang. R41 is also a great blade-tester for me, if I sense plucking - then blade isn't sharp enough

@@Wicked-Whiskers Nice observation. I also tried my blades in a aggressive razor but now im using a mild razor to test my blades

@@zarmanavice4488 That is much better strategy, I just thought to go for comparisson with familiar feel ☺️

I think most of chinese blades are such, I've got lots of them lately. I'll compare them when settle the feelings 😁 They are mostly mild, some are much thinner vs rusland blades, so maybe they are made for less hairy people, which would be totaly valid argument. Next round is per your recommendation, Merkur Progress + FlyDear, I guess it would work better with less blade vibratto 🤞🤗

Nice, I’m really looking forward to your reaction. 😊

Thanks! You too! I don't know, I blame the blades as they are not match for such aggressive razor, lot of chattering and if steel is not best quality it gets micro damages. Maybe it'd work in other razor. With this setup - shave would normally be like butter! I had quite a itchy stinging afterwards which I never had with Rocca

For people who need a mild & mindless shaver - it is more than a solid option. Very unified design to target all common issues (blade chatter, blade gaps, exposed blade ends) and it feels much more than it cost, honestly. Guess it'll become my "lazy shaver"

@@Wicked-Whiskers yeaa

😁 great job Danny! How do you feel gamechanger vs rocca? Any diffs you like/hate? I had with Rocca one great feel of emptiness "now what?" like I finished the game, nothing more to explore, nothing else left to outperform it, that much I was thrilled for first shave. Rocca "big daddy" of DE razors 🤗😁

@@Wicked-Whiskers because I have so many I think that is it with razors. Maybe GFS Valynor only due to its look nothing else. But now I do have 4 Wonderful daily shavers , GC, Rocca, Rockwell 6c and Mercur Progres. Fatip piccolo I can use only with closed comb beacuase I have nasty scar on right cheek. And now Rocca against GC: I Got a GC with closed comb 0.68 and compared to Rocca iz is more forgiving for errors. Dont forget I am still a beginer :D. Quality is also on Muhle side, dont get me wrong GC is also good built razor but Handle is better on Rocca. Also Rocca is more efficient and not more mutch agressive then Gamechanger. Booth are really good daily shavers. I am awaiting Slim adjustable from Back roads golds and that is it for razors at least in this year :D

@@danijelblagojevic9572 You've got yourself well covered 😁 When I tried DSS-9 I thought on Rocca vs GC: Rocca has more blade feel to me, but GC 0.86* although not aggressive at first feels bit harsh afterwards. And I'd always like Rocca for uniqueness, guess it's time to dust it off for "Muhle Monday" 😎

@@Wicked-Whiskers I shave every Day due to my Job (not to be representative , we have to work with masks when grinding Copper) so GC 0.68 is spot on for me. I do like all my razors but these 4 are for daily shaves fantastic. And thank you for another shave video and we wait that unboxing egerly.

@@Wicked-Whiskers and for me also forgot to say DS cosmetics and yaqi are not available because aliexp doesnot ships to Bosnia :( . But I watched yours videos and looks maybe even better then GC

Thanks, it was really enjoyable one 🤗

Yeah, apparently "one size to fit all" ☺️ Kind regards 🇷🇸🇭🇺

Thanks for watching! One parcel is waiting at post office, can't wait to try out 😁

Thanks 😊

@@Wicked-Whiskers welcome 😁

Glad you enjoyed it, it looks promising 😊

without that cord at the bottom and fingerprint grip 😊 fits quite well no wiggle

And cyber-monday, but hey, as long as we can get some great deals, count me in 😁

I was eying Z0 from DSC (R41 clone but in SS), Yaqi Vostok's (0.7 or 0.9) but somewhat feels much more expensive compared with S9 when I got it. Will see, for now I'm checking how low they'll drop 😁

​@@Wicked-Whiskersz0 continues to be on my list - copper/ brass/ stainless steel version. Perhaps their boar brushes too if the price drops.

Lovely story, I'm so happy when read people's bargain deals! Did you saw mine Whityle? About same price, and it looked bit different compared to Yaqi so I tried that one instead. That kind of chinese razors I'd try, ok they offer something new, different, fixed, but simple cloning existing razors is not on my pick-list, I dunno, maybe I'm subjective. On brush-field it's completely other story, for boars - 🇮🇹, for all others - 🇨🇳 rules the market, hands-down 🤗

@@Wicked-Whiskers Yes, I watched your video on the Whityle a few days ago. It is even cheaper than the Yaqi TFC and apparently, a great all around shaver! Personally, I'm fine with clones as long as they do not harm the inventor and introduce unfair competition. As far as brushes go, I would agree. Don't like badger brushes and haven't tried horses, but Italian boars 🐗 are fantastic!

@@ΑλέξανδροςΚανετάκης well, I decided to give a badger one last try 😁 wish me luck, managed to drop it to 26$ which is as low as I could get for 2-band badger. And for all others, I'm good for life.

@@Wicked-Whiskers Good luck 🤞! Looking forward to your thoughts on that badger 🦡 🙂

You're welcome. When I got mine it came with free europe shipping and for 69eur which I found quite decent.

@@Wicked-Whiskers yes thats nice 👍

I guess most will: yourshaving.com giftsandcare.com ali? what? I looked for some car parts and they did ship to BiH but not Serbia 😁 apparently they have "per shop" policy Anyhow just heads-up, to keep an eye on the date, Black Friday also. Good luck!

@@Wicked-Whiskers from those two I do buy stuff. by the way muhle Rocca just arived :)

@@danijelblagojevic9572 so expecting some nice shaves 😊

@@Wicked-Whiskers we will see that. It came together with razorock gamechanger .68 and it was first in a row. So after couple shaves with GC Rocca Will be on a trial

Not great - not terrible, right 😁

@@Wicked-Whiskers yeah, i know what you mean. I do not like to revisit my plastic light de razor anymore but I appreciate the nostalgia :)

I'd say it depends on your "weird" growing patterns, but for me it can take close to 90% whiskers on just WTG pass. Touch-ups are minimal and my beard grows bit less after Rocca shaves. It has bit of blade exposure which is pronounced, but efficiency wise I'd say it's a "closed bar R41 with a comfort of R89" 😊
