The knurling on this thing is great, right up there with the ikon bulldog. I love it, and it stands out among all my other razors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlade loading was a breeze with no issues.

It is no problem to find the proper angle and feels great on the face. The only other open comb I have to compare it to is the 2013 R41, it is less aggressive than the R41, but in a great way. This seems like a razor you could use everyday without worrying about irritating your skin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight:\u003cbr\u003eThis razor is nice and hefty, and has great balance.

Refer to the attached photo of my neck. See all those rows of lather? That's what is left behind when you take a stroke with this razor. The effect is you can pretty much do two complete facial passes with a single lather. This spells bad news for all youz guys with massive soap collections. You ain't NEVER gonna get through all that soap while using this razor. If soap were gasoline (and if you've got a CtW puck, your soap actually IS gasoline!), this razor would be a Prius.

I've found that a pretty steep angle will keep that blade positioned to mow down stubble with wonderful smoothness. Flatten out the angle and essentially I'm just raking my face with the OC base plate (not comfortable or effective). In other words, keep that angle steep and you will prosper with this razor. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSummary: the Phoenix razor is totally unique in my DE experience and is a total winner.

A couple of things, Doug’s recommendation of  a middle of the road blade was sound; I used the Astra Platinum for the test; I agree using a Kai, Feather or Bolzano out of the chute may be but doubtfully an issue. I found loading the blade a tad more difficult to get over the posts , but I am surmising this is to assure a tight blade fit. I was concerned initially the the shape would be difficult fitting under the nose which proved easier than my Futur. I really liked the shave, good audio feedback VERY efficient and very mild. The efficiency is amazing because folks compare this to the Ikon 102..I would say it is more efficient; I had to sell my 102 because it was too mild for me.  Again, my initial review is this razor is getting very close to the “mildness of a Gillette Tech, with the efficiency of a R41”.

First off, though this razor resembles our original DOC I promise you, this is a whole different beast. Unlike the Original DOC, The Ascension is not mild when set snug on the handle but much more aggressive and efficient. Not as aggressive as our DOC Evolution (2015-16), but more than our original DOC (2013), and not in a bad way at all, but in a smooth way. That said, you can easily change and adjust the blade angle with a simple twist of the handle and \u003ci\u003ein turn\u003c\/i\u003e, customize the quality and feel of the shave.

Snug rather than tight was always the best way with that razor…\u003ci\u003eand that got me thinking, How Can I Explore This More?\u003cspan class=\"m_-3258761667594312791m_-4774461328361718899gmail-Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"m_-3258761667594312791m_-4774461328361718899gmail-p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"m_-3258761667594312791m_-4774461328361718899gmail-s1\"\u003eSo, once again we went back to the drawing board and unlike the DOC Evolution, we added a little more shape and curvature to the base plate. This would force the blade to act as a form of tension spring which applied just enough push-back to allow for more tight and seamless adjustability in the space of a 1\/4 turn of the handle. \u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e While a similar technique can be done with other 3 piece razor designs it is really the exaggerated, intentional shape\/curvature\u003cspan class=\"m_-3258761667594312791m_-4774461328361718899gmail-Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eof the top and bottom cap that will dictate how effective it actually is.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yj6qo ajU\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" id=\":ow\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\" class=\"ajR\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ssl.gstatic.com\/ui\/v1\/icons\/mail\/images\/cleardot.gif\" data-cke-saved-src=\"https:\/\/ssl.gstatic.com\/ui\/v1\/icons\/mail\/images\/cleardot.gif\" class=\"ajT\"\u003eUnlike a traditional adjustable razor, the Ascension does not lock into fixed points.

A couple of things, Doug’s recommendation of  a middle of the road blade was sound; I used the Astra Platinum for the test; I agree using a Kai, Feather or Bolzano out of the chute may be but doubtfully an issue. I found loading the blade a tad more difficult to get over the posts , but I am surmising this is to assure a tight blade fit. I was concerned initially the the shape would be difficult fitting under the nose which proved easier than my Futur. I really liked the shave, good audio feedback VERY efficient and very mild. The efficiency is amazing because folks compare this to the Ikon 102..I would say it is more efficient; I had to sell my 102 because it was too mild for me.  Again, my initial review is this razor is getting very close to the “mildness of a Gillette Tech, with the efficiency of a R41”.

While I loved offering our past bakelite razors the color choices were not really there. Heck, in order to do our Oxblood razors I had to source the bakelite supply myself, then ship it to the manufacturer! I mean, I never would have been able to do a Glow In The Dark Bakelite, the manufacturers barely understood what a safety razor was, never mind if I asked them to make it glow. Plus, ABS is super strong and impact resistant. This could make it a perfect travel or camping razor. ABS is also heat tolerant and possesses a high tensile strength, It's shock absorbent, and lastly, scratch resistant. To sum it up, though light, it's pretty damn durable and will last generations, especially with the brass hardware we include.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe made sure the brass post was the standard 1032 thread so that it can be mixed and matched with your other favorite handles!
