MARS Razor

[mayer57619]

Today was my first use of the MARS (Modular Adjustable Razor System).  I have all 10 insert plates and opted for using insert 6 based on the very limited (as of now) reviews of the razor.  My prep consists of just a hot shower and then face lathering the soap selected.

MARS razor; insert #VI
1/2 Astra SP blade
C-MON Deluxe boar brush
Mitchell's Wool Fat soap
Preferred Stock Aftershave

   

   

The MARS performed very well.  The handle is comfortable in the hand and has texture to provide a good grip, even when wet.  My typical 2 pass, WTG & XTG, provided for excellent results.  The razor is fairly light and with the #6 insert, efficient.  I did have one weeper, but that was the blade catching on a small scar on my chin which happens with most razors.  All-in-all a very enjoyable shave with a well thought out and designed razor.  I will be using it for the next few shaves to see if the blade/insert combination is able to be improved upon.

Great 1st shave and I will be following. What's it retail for $$ ?

Since I was on the initial offering the Razor and all 10 inserts came to $37 to my door from the UK. I believe the next round is possibly going to be a Kickstarter campaign, based on the information on the marsrazor.com website.

Thanks Justin, It is interesting. I watched his video the other day. Will follow your thoughts on it for sure.

Razor: MARS with VI insert
Blade: 1/2 Astra SP
Brush: Smilez for Milez 
Soap: Vintage Williams
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue

Another close and comfortable shave with the MARS.  It is definitely a good shaver and provides a wide variety of inserts for varying the blade gap depending on your preference.
