Well, it's finally here, the Lord DE razor that I ordered from Amazon. It came very fast, although the tracking says is it still in the USA at the point of departure. The Canada Post tracking says it is still to be clear of customs. So, my first thoughts upon opening the package are that it seems to be constructed well for such an inexpensive razor. For my first shave with this razor, I decided to use my go to soap... Proraso. I find this soap is the easiest to lather, and smells just great. I used the Lord blade that came with the razor. I have never used a Lord blade and hoped that it would give a good shave. It did just that. Granted, it did take me a little longer to shave but it may be due to the fact that I didn't know what to expect. I've been a SE shaver since I decided to toss out the cartridge razor. The first difference I noticed was how thin the blades are. The Lord blades, while giving a close shave, are not aggressive enough for me. Maybe tomorrow I will use a different brand. The razor itself is light compared to my solid brass Valet. But the handle is long which I like. My face did not get irritated, and I cut myself not once, (which is what I was afraid of). All in all, A great shave and I think that it would be a great razor for anyone starting out DE shaving. It will definitely be used often. I shall see how the other blades perform but for now, it doesn't beat my Valet. Then again, comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges.
What were some of your first DE razors? How many do you have now?
