Great breakdown of your processes, Pete. It sounds like the Van Winkle razor is a fantastic addition to your already stellar line-up of products.

One thing that can vary the shave is the side of your face being evaluated. Most use one hand when using a DE and you shave each side of your face a bit different. Your skin and whiskers may also be a little different. I notice that I generally spend a bit more time buffing the right side of my face over my left. The net result is usually the same, but it can vary slightly.

I couldn't agree more. Most of the time, especially when evaluating soap; I would think the minimum would be to do round 1 of the test one day, then swap sides the next day. When evaluating new soap base recipes, I might have to swap sides 4-5 times before making a definite call. I like your thinking!!!!!

Great video, really good advice on the 2 pass shave. That’s how I’ve been doing it for a while now; close and comfortable is all I need, especially on the sensitive neck area.

I couldn't agree more!!

To me, efficiency means how effective the razor is at removing stubble and how close it cuts. Mild, medium and aggressive refers to how much blade feel I experience while using the razor. All 3 levels can be smooth though if the right blade is paired with razor. This is how I interpret and explain it. Great video and your testing method sounds great Pete!
