Second use of the Big Ben blade was much worse than the first time. Lots of tugging but surprisingly no irritation or weepers. It was the only one I had, courtesy of @dmshaver, but I don't see myself using one again.
Sorry the Big Ben didn’t work out for you. You never know until you try though.
 
Sunday SOTD- last blue shave, a good, satisfying two-pass shave, DFS, for fun I dug around for stuff that hasn't been used in years and that had some blue on the packaging:

Maxwell June, twinned DE- dusk grey, somewhat blueish
Treet Black Beauty (1)- continuing my trials of Treet blades; it performed fine and, perhaps, better than I anticipated; seems these carbon blades are giving me some "softer" shaves?
Tom's Natural Shave Cream- maybe in the intervening year's my lathering technique has improved, as the cream made a nicer lather than I recall; not spectacular, but more than adequate
Rein Dachs Klassik badger brush- lathered great in the bowl, so far this brush is performing above it's ~$30 price point
The Body Shop Macca Root Face Protector- slightly earthy scent and not at all a bad balm

Have some fine shaves!
