RE: SOTD - October 2023 - Anchovie666 - 10-14-2023 Saturday Morning Scrape Fourth shave on the VC2 and I increased the blade exposure a smidge more - brought it down in line with the blade stops a bit better - these Auto Strops take a bit of getting used to and this shave was superb. Even though they use the same blades as the ER and Gem razors, the angles a definitely different.

WOW - what a different type of shave and feel. Against the Grain and Across was a bit of challenge but after Dry Down it ended up being a close and marvelous shave.
