Gillette 7 o'clock SS (green) - First try

Some of you may have seen that I'm new to DE shaving and had only tried Derby Extras (ugh) and King C. Gillettes (yes!). I was piddling around in some local shops and found some Gillette 7 o'clock SS (green) so I bought a tuck. Tried one for the first time today. It wasn't bad. I don't know if I I like it as much as the KCG blade, but it was a whole lot better than the Derby Extras. I'm looking forward to seeing how the next shave compares with the KCG. My technique probably still needs a lot of work so I'm not going to make any final judgments until I get several shaves under my belt with the 7 o'clock.
 
Congratulations! Great progress. :thumbup1::thumbup1:

I humbly suggest that you stick with one set-up for a bit until your technique is reasonably solid. Then work your way through a blade sampler pack or two to get a good idea of what works best for you.

Just my $0.02!
This.

Stick with the 7-O'clock greens for a while...a month. They are a proven blade.

Rotating and swapping razors, blades, soaps will not help your technique when you are just learning.
