Shave No. N/A
Towel Used: Yes
All Passes: Consistent, good quality lather
Result: BBS/DFS. Not as close as with the iKon, but read on...
Notes: I forgot until the reminder popped up on my phone yesterday afternoon, I had a test scheduled for 8:00am this morning, with an hour and half commute to get the testing location. So, desiring no issues on a quick shave, I switched to my trusty '57 Red Tip SS loaded with a Baili Platinum blade. I still used the same brush, soap, and method. No nicks, no irritation, BBS in all the usual places, DFS in all the usual places. The blade is a strange mix of smooth and mild. It didn't cut quite as close as an Astra SP or the Personna Lab I'm using, but the shave feel was very similar to the Astra. It made for a pretty smooth shave. For being one of the cheapest DE blade on the US market, it's a pretty solid blade. I won't lie, it was nice to get a break from the Lab today And a nice shave it was!
