| Delightful BBS shave. This soap is made by a local (MA) barber. It's easy to lather, cushiony and slick. The razor glides as if on wings. https://www.mannerssupplyco.com/product/shave-soap-all-natural-in-4oz-tin |

So when I first got into traditional shaving, I ordered several blade sample packs to determine which blades I liked best. It was a good plan and I settled on several that worked well for me, one of them being the Wizamet Super Iridium (or PolSilver), a blade I found to be sharp but mild at the same time. But given the current political/military crisis vis a vis Russia, the blade seemed to disappear from the market and I doled them out from my tuck sparingly ...
Until yesterday. I stumbled upon Wizamets on AMZ and ordered 50 of 'em so I no longer have to be so meager with my usage of them. And, as I expected, it delivered a smooth, close, delightful shave. The Super Iridiums join my other favorites: Perma-Sharps, Nacets and Astra SPs.

| Comments | Great ingredients but I got a touch carried away around my chin and ended up with a few nicks and felt it when I applied the aftershave! The shave was very even and smooth though. |
I did too. And they do appear to be the Real Deal. I'm really pleased I jumped on 'em. Glad you did too. Great blades.
, When I glued this knot in, I did not use epoxy. I used a flexible glue knowing that it was possible that I might have to pull the knot out again.
Agreed! I just ordered 50 more after reading your earlier post and confirming that the ones I received today are genuine. Good Lord. I love B&B, but we are some wonderfully enabling folks!I did too. And they do appear to be the Real Deal. I'm really pleased I jumped on 'em. Glad you did too. Great blades.
Nice! I'm so glad you found some Yellows.
Ah, yes! Only on day 2 of the first one and they really are at a great intersection between smooth and sharp. I think the grazes today were down to technique - new head and blade can do that. Thanks again for the recommendation!
