Fingers crossed the power stays restored

I believe @Cal attributed the groove below the guard on the #26 to the difference in shave results. There is no groove on the regular EFBT.Saw @Cal's writeup of the Gillette #26 English Flat Bottom Tech some time back and remembered having an EFB Tech with that same handle. Finally found it and, yes, the head is different from my other EFB Techs. Used a Kai blade and one of Doug's GTx 25g handles. I'm a bit perplexed. The shave was not as smooth as my regular EFB Tech. I don't think the issue was with the razor, but rather with the Kai blade. Felt rough and tugged. According to my records, this was only the 4th, 4-pass (equivalent) shave on this blade and the previous shaves were great. Should have had at least one more shave after this Kai. Odd results from one of my longtime Tech/Blade combinations. The #26 EFB Tech is slightly different. Maybe the Kai and the #26 EFB Tech don't match up? Think I'll try a different (Feather? Perma-Sharp? Personna Israeli Platinum Red? Something else?) blade with the #26 for Thursday's shave. Hmmmmm.....Maybe I'll dig one of the Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum blades out of my stash and give it a try.
LOL. We are on well and septic so until I bought a generator no power meant no heat, no water and no flushing (no shaving either)Thank you Kim. Having heat throughout the house, including the Shaving Den, is a very nice luxury.
Good investment!LOL. We are on well and septic so until I bought a generator no power meant no heat, no water and no flushing (no shaving either)
Definitely a different razor.I believe @Cal attributed the groove below the guard on the #26 to the difference in shave results. There is no groove on the regular EFBT.

So into the blade stash I ventured when we got home this evening! Like Christmas all over again.Think I'll try a different (Feather? Perma-Sharp? Personna Israeli Platinum Red? Something else?) blade with the #26 for Thursday's shave. Hmmmmm.....Maybe I'll dig one of the Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum blades out of my stash and give it a try.
Moi?Switched out the soap in this week's software to Pinaud Clubman Shave Soap. Pinaud Clubman Shave Soap is really quite good. I blame Cal for the order I just placed.
Absolutely!
This is good to hear about the Lite plate, I held off when it was on sale initially. I still hold the opinion that if he had it sooner, it would have brought more people, including me, to the Blackbird. I am still thinking about the OC plate for my Ti, but I don't know what it would bring to the table for me other than adding to the collection?
