@Grundi my blades arrived in Malaysia as well. Gonna join in with the blade review in the coming days
Maybe this is how Canadian Post works. You're closer to me geographically and you're not experiencing any natural disaster, so obviously it would take longer!!Somehow Canada Post got these to you in flooded BC before I received mine in London Ontario! This waiting is killing me...
I'm betting you'd be able to tell. You now know how the blade felt on the first several shaves, likely noticing that it felt different and possibly better on the second shave. If you went for shave number four and felt a lot of tugging/scraping then you can reasonably assume it's done.Now I'm in the uncomfortable position of deciding what to do next. To this point, I've given blades 3 shaves then into the recycle bank they go. I don't trust myself yet to detect when a blade is on its last leg, so 3 shaves seemed a reasonable minimum expectation. At least I have a couple days to figure it out.
