'48-'50 SuperSpeed with Feather, wow!

[xivex]

So I tried my Gillette 1948-1950 SuperSpeed with a feather today. It was my first time to try this razor, and previously I had tried my Merkur 38c and the Fatboy on various settings. So today I decided to have a proraso shave. I showered, did Kyle's prep, proraso pre cream, proraso green soap with a squirt of KMF unscented and some glycerin. Built a wonderful superlather. I did a 3 pass shave with touchup (WTG, XTG, ATG). The superspeed was a great razor, much lighter than my 38c or the fatboy and easily maneuverable. Its probably the best shave I've ever had in my life. Not a BBS smooth (haven't attained this yet) but so close to it its not even funny. Just minor stubble on either side of the adam's apple. Otherwise, running my hand in any direction on my face resulted in silky smooth skin. The shave also had only slight redness in my problem areas around the sides of the adam's apple/lower neck. All in all, a DFS and quite possibly best I've ever had!

Thanks B&B!

Congrats on a great shave. The mild 48-50 Super Speed really shines with sharp blades like Feathers.
