Edge 1, shave 1, German blade: Wilkinson Sword Classic (plastic), OSP Orange & Patchouli cream.
A box-fresh razor and a blade straight out the wrapper, and these two were literally made for each other! The German blade is noticeably smoother than the English, and those parts of my neck and moustache area that only get a single pass have a better finish. The rest of my face you can't tell the difference, but I'd anticipate dealing with seven or eight o'clock shadow rather than Thursday's five o'clock.
Of course, having such a lovely shave with equipment I'm familiar with, knowing I'm going to be reporting to my internet friends, I get cocky, inattentive, and get a tiny weeper on my jawline. Maybe I should award round 1 to the English blade?!
