Soap's scent and lather were great! The excellent brush whips it into a creamy and slick lather. AS is very good but too bad not lasting...Nice smooth shave from this razor. 3passes for a dfs-sas finish...

This is the 21st shave with MdC and today it was with one of my Paladin PK 47 brushes. Paladin makes some nice brushes and this one excels. I am switching razors today. Todayโ€™s choice is my Wolfman WR2 loaded with a fresh Personna Medical Prep blade. The RR Slant I used yesterday felt rough so I switched razors after one stroke. A nice, BBS shave. Have a geat day, gents.

After my first shave with LASER Ultra, I paired it with Romer-7 Ricardo for second shave. I kept everything else same. Here is my experience:
  • Laser Ultra keeps on surprising me. Though it has not become my favorite blade yet but it has been sharp and forgiving in this very aggressive Ricardo and in aggressive Sterling razor
  • As you can see from the pics, this blade has alignment problem. A blade has 2 sides. My first shave I did one with Gillette Sterling and then blade's shape changed a bit because it was compressed for half an hour in the razor form one side (numbered 1,2) while on second shave I used the other side (numbered 3-4). Hence the alignment problem
  • I have been a safety-razor user for more than a month now. Have gotten better with practice and this time, very aggressive Ricardo did not feel like shaving with a sword
  • I did get carried away and nicked myself at 4 places.
  • Less irritation compared to Gillette Permasharp blade.
  • More irritation at places where I put put pressure. OMG, hands are so habitual from 20+ years of cartridge use that I can't stop putting pressure.
  • Permasharp blade gives 2 shaves while this Ultra I think is still fine for 3rd shave.
3rd shave is coming with $0.5 Gillette Permasharp razor. Coming soon for I am enjoying this lifestyle :)
