Fumbling about.
Jim my biggest surprise is a favoured blade being great in one razor and disaster in a different razor. Trying the different blades in the Grande. The Feather I thought might end up being a single use, a few months back. The FOCS has confirmed that for me.
I found that different blades were better in different razors, too. However, then I found the Polsilver was perfect in all razors. I'm certainly not saying my experience tells anyone but me anything.
Jim, are your FOCS shaves more comfortable than your straight razor shaves?
What I noticed right away with straights was how comfortable the shaves were compared with safety razor shaves in general. That's what kept me with the straights.
The FOCS is at least as comfortable as the straight razor and maybe more comfortable. It wasn't what I expected. The FOCS is also very very easy to shave with (for me).
Happy shaves,
Jim
