Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (1)
Postshave: none
Aftershave: Proraso green
Rating: 9.8/10
Woke up late today, so a little rushed. I usually use Proraso blue preshave, but skipped it today. Also used no alum block or WH after the shave, just Proraso green AS. The results were excellent! The Bic CP is another blade that I had used previously with good results, but today's results were much better.
I did quick WTG and XTG passes, with a touch up on my problem neck areas. The post shave feel was great and irritation on my neck was no worse than usual. My skin did not feel hot as it sometimes does. I also did some ATG buffing on the mustache area and the blade went through with little to no tugging.
This is definitely one of the closest shaves I have had, especially given my lack of time for extra touch-up. The BCP blade rivals any of my favorite Russian blades, and their price is much more reasonable (currently about $16 US on Amazon) than Gillette Platinums and Rapiras. The Bic Astor was excellent as well, but the CP felt smoother, so I will be sure that I never run out of them.
