Sounds like a really good shave. I think the design is starting to grow on me a little the more I see it, but I think I still prefer the original in terms of aesthetics, it really is a fantastic looking design, especially the handle. The new version just looks a little ‘unfinished’ to my eye. As someone who loves mild razors, it also makes me a little sad that almost every single time a razor is released and it’s mild, the community loses its shit, whinges and moans and demands it be made more aggressive and the companies give in and that just kinda leaves folk like me out in the cold and looking around for the next thing instead….I get there’s a commercial consideration that they have to listen to for financial success, but when there’s so so many aggressive razors available it just kinda suck imo that the community can’t leave the mild razors alone for those who enjoy them. Have an awesome BBS-kinda day, and I’ll be looking forward to more videos with this new Proof razor to see how it gets on.

I'll get one as soon as they make it with a different metal! My other High Proof was supposed to be the Pivot to Rule them All - the Leaf, Broman, and OneBlade killer. But alas, it sits in a box somewhere because aluminum turns into glue on my face for some reason. My wife used it for a while for leg shaving, but the top kept popping off. Sounds like they fixed that. Once again, great video!

Well I am definitely hopeful of alternative materials - but weary of the cost (and opportunity cost). The aluminum price is already a hurdle to get past for the majority of shavers (including myself) - asking 2-3x the price along with adding all the extra effort does worry me to be honest; especially if it doesn't affect the shave. I think proving that the spring is effective, the new design is efficient enough, and getting base numbers on sales is a good approach personally, and very similar to what Henson did. The opportunity cost at chasing premium metals could negatively limit the company from investing in the base item if that makes sense. I don't speak for the company in any way, shape or form - but that's my overall impression/assumption. With that all said, I'd say that a Anodized Titanium Proof would be a crown jewel in my bathroom 😂 Thanks for the comment!

I feel the same way. I love my high proof in theory but it sticks to my skin and the cap comes off all the time. It will only shave my face at max 2 days growth.

The weight on the pivot feels a little firmer than the Leaf, softer than the OneBlade or Focus Dynamic. The new version really needs to be depressed to get the angle correct IMHO, otherwise it's pretty steep. It's not a ton of pressure, but it's more than my old cartridge 👍 Thanks for the question!

Subie - It looks interesting. Not sure how long the spring is going to last. My orignal high proof I couldn't get through 3 days of growth with it. I did have the magnets fall off or worse stick to the adhesive of the blade which makes it come off. I did like for a daily shaver when I am high awake in the morning as it was an autopilot shave. How much more aggressive is it for a face shave?
@SubieShaves
11 ай бұрын
If springs are of concern - they said they will always work with people that need replacements, but that they are considering selling other weights in the future. Magnets coming out was something I heard only once, but I know they also replaced any defective units. It would absolutely be something you should go to them with directly. This one for me was more blade forward for sure, but I can't speak to your stubble type, as this gave me a effortless BBS with 3 days growth. Thanks for the comment rangiz99!

@@SubieShaves It was the cap falling off, not the magents falling out. It seems that if i pick a blade with adhesive, the aluminum sticks to it and the top falls off easier than if i pick a blade without adhesive. I got in on the kickstarter so i am curious to know what they are costing retail for them.

I find that shaving under my nose and the pits of my mouth with the original is incredibly difficult. Similar issues with the OneBlade. Others guys have the same complaint. Think it’s better as a head shaver than a face shaver. Not sure what changes they’ve made to address the limitations of the original.
@SubieShaves

I actually liked your question so much I reached out to them for clarity. The angle has not changed (even though to my eye it looks different?) And neither has blade gap nor exposer. I will be doing a comparison shave at a later time with the original and the Proof - but I am getting quite a bit more blade feel (and a bit more bite) compared to the High Proof. If you struggled with the angle, this revision likely won't change it for you.

I just want to be able mow down a week or two of hair without having to rinse so often when body shaving. Gillette Guard can do it really well which is why a hybrid base plate like Guards sounds so appealing in a pivoting SE format.
