I finally got the FOCS gold from Connaughts, had to use today
Fit was tight....had to push top plate out.
Put a Polsylver #2 in; I actually had to place it x 3 to get an even exposure...as much as posible.

Started w head...had a lot of blade feel, interestingly both sides. I haven't used the silver version lately but this felt more.
Did 2 passes and still had some left (unusual).
Decided to split face one side FOCS gold and the other I used the new RR Lupo (OC) w a Bic #3 or 4.
The Focs side I only did one pass....was burning too much, had to finish last pass w the other. RR side was smooth. Finally had to do another pass on the head w RR to get a decent shave.
Focs was subpar shave with my best blade, and caused significant irritation....
This is a major let down......
Will try one of the rusky Gillette or an Israely blade......hope it gets better......
