(1) PAA Copper Ascension Twist Adjustable Razor! Today was my standard 2-day whiskers shave. Hello everyone! This is the last report that I plan to do, on my Copper Ascension razor. The feeling of solid copper in my hands with the rose gold electroplating, and feeling the weight, its enough to make me sing. Now talking about the PAA Copper Rose Gold Ascension razor for clarification. But yeah, I am always going to be a stronger fan of quality metal alloy's. I noticed that PAA has more Bakelite razors that have prettier handles at least. Is there a reason why ABS is not being used? ABS is known to be like the strongest plastic out there, but nope, make it out of cheap Bakelite, then charge 50+ dollars for it. Sorry, for those who love Bakelite, but I can never get behind cheap Bakelite plastic. I think the razor has a gorgeous top cap, I am a fan of art deco culture, especially when its gold plated! Having said that however, the rest of the razor is garbage IMO. This is in regards to the 10th Anniversary razor, just to clarify for other folks out there. Here's my opinion, purely based on what I can visually see, since I don't own the razor. Since I watch a few of the most popular Youtube wet shavers, I have been introduced to the new PAA razor. Someone sure earns their wages on the labeling too I think, cause its always loud and proud flashy as all heck. I feel like the marketing is always too much in our faces. I am very pleased that you liked the pictures! I always put some effort into taking them, just wished I didn't have trouble posting them.Īnd I couldn't agree with you more, I too am not a fan of the cheesy marketing that PAA does. Thank goodness! Just tilt the handle to 30 - 35 degrees, and your good to go! No devettes or shavettes on a stick for me, no thank you, I will stick with DE thank you very much lol. I can't tell you how relieved, and how pleased I was, that the Copper Ascension does not, require you to ride the cap. When I saw the extreme arch of the Copper Ascension, and saw its low blade exposure, I was worried it would be the same way. And you know me well, that I don't appreciate razors that make me ride the cap. My Feather AS-D2 is like that, it requires shaving shallow, riding the cap, It don't cut nothing in my experience, if you try to ride the bar, it aint happening. I know exactly what you are talking about as well. I love how the razor adjusts as well, and I appreciate its ability to do so, without inviting blade chatter, provided you don't go past 1/2 turn out. So if the razor isn't holding the blade rigid enough, it will invite blade chatter, which will turn your face into a kid with acne skin disease lol. When your going against the grain, it puts added stress on the blade. What you said also makes a lot of sense to me actually. I really appreciate the value that you see in adjusting the razor like I do! This is how I have been doing it with my Rex Ambassador, Merkur Futur, and my Gillette 1959 195 Adjustable Fatboy. One thing I have always believed, if I'm going to be using an adjustable razor, I want to utilize the full benefits of it, and adjust the blade aggression, during the different pass stages of the shave.
