Great shave with the Cobra & Kai Titan Mild. I have been fortunate enough in that when it comes to blades, I haven't encountered one that has been rough or unusable to date. Are some better in smoothness and feel? Yes, but overall they have worked from average to stellar on my scale and shave experience.
I also have been lucky in that I don't suffer from ingrown hairs when I shave, especially when the shave has been extremely close. If anything, I'll feel a bit of tenderness around the cheeks and jawline on occasion, but that is gone within 3-4 hours after the shave. If I can get a 12+ shave in longevity, I can live with the trade off of very minor early discomfort for a close, smooth feeling shave that lasts through the work day and then some. Of course, not everyone will agree with my take on shave quality and end game, that's just me and I'm ok with that.
So here's the question I pose to you gents. We all agree mostly, that our blade of choice, for the most part is the AC format style regardless of brand, guarded or not. We can also agree that the AC's are arguably the sharpest blades made today.
In regards to closeness and longevity of shave compared to omfort and smoothness, which side of the fence are you on? In other words, will you chase the super close (BBS) finish and longevity at the potential/expense of some minor discomfort or, just give me a comfortable shave (DFS) as I can't deal with any type of discomfort, big or small? I ask out of curiosity because I'm a BBS chaser and with me out of every 10 shaves, I always get one or two that I get a little bit of soreness and discomfort. A trade off that I admittedly am willing to accept for the ultimate Baby Butt Smooth finish....
What say you Gents? Worth it, not worth it?
Ha.
