Greetings,

Over this week i've had some fantastic shaves,my shave set up today really worked, the addition of the glycerin drops to the W.S.soap bowl provides a superb slickness to the lather,for each pass, leaving my skin feeling soft & hydrated with no irritation or dryness.

I've finally got round to trying out the Concord Platinum blade..The verdict?...A very sharp blade, after doing some research on them, i found out they are made in the same factory as the'Derby Extra'.Possibly the most Love/Hate DE blade ever !, but i can honestly say i personally found the Concord blade suited to my rhino skin, very smooth,and paired together with my 39C brilliantly with no issues of tugging or pulling...Into my first year of traditional wet shaving i had a nasty bite from a "Derby Extra",'which neally put me off trad-wet shaving for good! but i carried on with endurance to over come getting the very nasty nick. The concord platinum blade is a completely different blade to the derby extra.

Thinking back now though,it was probably down to my technique,preparation and a dodgy pack of blades,..it does happen, like with any product that is mass produced..

All of my blades are hand stropped before use now,to take away any hidden or imaginary burrs from the blade edges , leaving it clean and error free..Maybe it's me been a paranoid android, but it works for me...'Once bitten,twice shy'.I now look forward to the maiden shave with the Bluebird Platinum blade, another blade from the Derby factory if it's anything like the concord platinum i'll be well pleased.

The 39C / Concord Platinum combo paired together excellently, shaving with ease...very sharp smooth, & efficient.

A very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of 4711~ A/S Cologne.

My face is feeling smooth refreshed, & smelling devine.

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.
