Despite it being a very hot day today a good solid DFS occurred. That’s fine by me.

Ninth and last shave with a Tiger in my pre-WW2 Tech this morning. I usually quit at eight shaves, but the Tiger survived nine shaves. The first three shaves were fine in efficiency and results. Sharpness began deteriorating noticeably beginning with the fourth shav, and continued, shave-after shave, to the end. The sixth-through-ninth shaves couldn't be described as efficient. But ultimate results were close-to-BBS, and the process was still comfortable with no sign of nicks or irritation. It just took longer. My guess is that a more aggressive razor wouldn't solve the efficiency problem but would make the shaves less comfortable.
Next up will be a Tatra in my Tatara Masamune SB. I had tried a Tatra in the OC version with pretty good results. I'll let you know how it goes with the SB.
In the meantime, thanks again to Grundi for a generous and interesting PIF.
3rd shave this morning with my last Tatra from Grundi's generous PIF. With regret, I have to say that, for me, these blades just aren't sharp enough for pleasant, efficient shaves with the razors I prefer. With effort, I can get a good DFS, maybe even BBS, but it takes too many strokes and too much time. I'll try to get a few more shaves out of this blade in the interest of science, but I don't expect to use Tatras again.
