Thank you, my friend. DE razor blades are something very subjective, Robert. You will get mixed reviews on almost all kinds of Double Edge blades currently available. In order to know if you like a blade or not, you have to try it by yourself. And, to answer your question, yes Bolzano are very sharp and comfortable, at least for me. I love those blades.

Of course . I agree about the subjective nature of blades, but your assessment was exactly what I was looking for .

Thanks again. As you can see the heel of my razors don't see much action during the shave.

SATURDAY "BRITISH ISLES" SHAVE

Pre-Shave: Yardley Old English Lavender
Shave Oil: Blend of baby oil with menthol & Tea Tree oil
Shave Soap: Mama Bears Dublin Tweed Shave Soap lathered in warm glass bowl
Brush: Tweezerman
Razor: Edwin Jagger-DE89L
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (5)

Enjoyable Saturday Shave - 2 passes - w/ some touch-up. Very nice scent on the MB Dublin Tweed. 5th shave from the EJ89L + Astra SP combination - still comfortable & close.
