L3++OC back to my roots- sorta
After failing the straight razor journey, I started my DE experience with an R41 no less. For the longest time, I was actually very content with just that one razor. Like may others, I too wanted new experiences, and tried several razors: aggressive-mild, OC, closed comb, new, vintage and with the influence of a certain YouTuber, I grew an affinity for Slants. Previously I tried manufacture from popular German and Italian makes- but they could, I thought, be made better. So, I finally pulled the trigger. Now, I don’t have the most dense beard growth out there, but somehow, I’ve always liked that “blade feel”, but that’s just me (we all being different). The control on this L3++OC is off the hook! Efficiency goes without saying. Now, don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want to use this puppy as my daily shaver (I tried it for the first time after a good week’s worth of growth). For daily shave, which I try to keep to, looking presentable for work, I got the L1++ closed comb. But, long story short, if this L3++ were my only razor, like way back when the R41 was, I’d be a happy camper.
FYI I got the DOC, the mildest varient, for my 18yo son. Hope he’ll get as much joy from it as I do from mine.
