Horizon Head

Mild smooth shave on settings of 1 to 3 - flat head gets into tight spots

I have used the Horizon Artist Club Razor for about 6 times with the same blade - in this case a Schick AC Blade. I have tried it on settings of 1, 2 and 3 - each setting for two shaves. Settings of 1 and 2 are extremely mild and I found that the setting of 3 seems to be the one that works for me - I'll try setting 4 just to check it out but if you like mild shaves (which I do), it appears that settings of 3 and below will work for you. On the 3 setting, I did not have to do much buffing and blade feel was just about non-existent. It was the most efficient setting to use. While the Horizon head is large, it is also relatively flat. Therefore I found it easier to get into tight spaces, under my nose, with ease - so don't let the larger head dissuade you from using this AC razor. I also have the La Faulx (classic head), the Blackland Vector (Lite SB) and the Tatara Amakuni and this razor is on par with the LaFaulx (on setting 3) and the Amakuni in giving you a very smooth and close shave without any nicks or cuts. I would rank the Horizon, the La Faulx and the Tatara Amakuni at the top with the Blackland Vector a close second. All the razors that I have are in stainless steel as you need the heavier weight because these razors tend to be lighter than the standard DE razor. You can make adjustments to the settings when shaving by loosening the handle and then moving the setting to the desired one. Tightening the handle keeps that setting in place for the remainder of the shave. Cleaning the razor is a breeze - just unscrew the handle and the top part comes off. Artist Club blades are always a bit fiddly because of their smaller size, but by holding it by the ends, it ensures you don't cause any injury to yourself. The Horizon head fits on any standard DE razor handle and I have experimented with a few handles - the best one seems to be from Timeless (Crown) as it fits this head well - other handles may perform the same. I'm very pleased with this purchase and will be using it for a long time
