Not a new blade today but a revisit of a Derby Premium but loaded into my FaTip Piccolo OC at the request of @thombrogan.
I think this is my first ever full 3 pass shave with the OC baseplate on my Piccolo (not a big OC shaver) so I was extra slow and extra careful today!
Looking back at my notes I last tried one of these in my Muhle Rocca and I found it's sharpness wasn't the best and it wasn't very smooth on shave 1. In the OC Piccolo there were no issues with the sharpness of the blade and it felt smoother than in the Rocca (but not as smooth as some other blades). There was more blade feel in the OC and despite being careful with the shave I still ended up with a couple of small weepers around my jaw. The shave also didn't feel as comfortable as shaving with the Gentile plate, however, there was no irritation and my face doesn't feel too bad so overall a better shave with this blade than I had with it in the Rocca.
