At long last, my L'Occitane Eau du Badian has come in! Also, a petite bloc du Stefan's Shaving Soap, courtesy of DoubleE..

Hi Ron -

...SNIP...

I use Feather Platinums 99% of the time. Frankly, I have been getting a bit of irritation lately and am wanting to "dip my toe in the water" and see what else is out there.

This morning my shave with the Schick blade was not too bad. Not wonderful, but not as overtly aggressive as the Feathers. I'm going to try Merkurs for a few days, and then the Swede blades - I'll be happy to opine on the results of each one when the time comes.

...SNIP...

Hmmm... I have my Merkurs, Feathers, and American Safety Razor platinum-plated chrome steels. I find some razors do much better with one particular brand of blade. BUT, I notice that my face does better if I change brands every week or so. Why? Beats me.. I really am looking forward to a toe to toe with the Swedish Gillettes and the Feathers..
