I do like this blade, something I never thought I would say again, much less three times so far. It seems that this blade dulled a little more slowly than the previous Dorco and I pushed it to a 6th shave. In retrospect, that was too much. It scored a 7.53 because of that and had an overall performance number well below the ST-300. I went and did a "what if" scenario by deleting the last shave and the number came out at 7.92, the exact score as the ST-300 even though the profile across the 5 shaves was a little different. Now I have to puzzle over what score to give this blade. Shave 5 was tuggy but not painful and I have pushed previous blades beyond this point but, truth be told, this blade should have been tossed after the WTG pass for shave 6. I'm going to give the blade the benefit and claim that I made a poor decision as to when to end this test and stick with the 7.92.
Next up, the Dorco Titan, a PTFE coated blade from Vietnam.
