Blade Testing Procedure??

[tm3]

I just shave with them. If I like it, I'll try them in my other razors to see how they do. I don't keep blades that don't work well in all my razors. Too much trouble remembering which one to use in what razor. I give a new blade 4 shaves as that is my typical usage for my blades. I will keep my soap and brush the same as I switch to other razors to eliminate variables.

I'm a fan of the KISS approach, and minimizing the variables.

I've got a dozen or so shaves on a Feather blade right now, and it's still kicking. Blades tend to last a pretty good while with me.

Wish I could get 5 shaves from a Feather-after 3 shaves, starts pulling and dragging on my face.

Testing was short lived, and has concluded. Best laid plans and all that.

First contender was the voskhod. Right out of the gate, and for shave after shave thereafter, this blade in the 34HD moved into the GOAT position, even ahead of the ASD2/feather combo, and stayed there. Not quite a curb stomping, but almost.

I don't really see a need to try anything else. It's that good.
