Experiences and opinions with FlyDear Super Platinum DE blades

[profusion]

I am testing the FlyDear at the moment as well.
It performs excellently in the Rockwell 6s and the Giesen und Forsthoff Timor, so I expect a very good performance in the R89 too.

At the moment I have one loaded in the R41, and I am not yet sure. The shaves are smooth and very close, but I get at least one nick. At the 41 is new in my den it's likely that it's my fault or the fact that the 41 bends the blade less.. But I notice during the shave that the blade is less sharp than an Astra or Gillette Platinum blade,so a little bit more uncomfortable but in the end the result is very good too.

I can see the FlyDear being a very good match for an R41. For me, that razor is a steep-angle tool that requires a very smooth blade, but not an especially sharp one. My best results in my R41 so far have come with the Shark Super Chrome, which is a ghastly blade in every other razor I've tried it in. I don't use the R41 much anymore but might try it soon with a FlyDear, perhaps on a head shave.

For what it is worth here is a 200x image of the Fly Dear. for comparison: The second image is a Feather.

I just used a fresh FlyDear in a Game Changer .84p. It could be smoother. I had a close shave in the end, but this combo was rough for my face.

I recall it working quite OK in a Gillette Tech.

I just loaded up a FlyDear in my .84P for the coming week, so we'll see how it goes.
