Nicks, cuts and skidmarks

[Whilliam]

Traded my usual Astra SP for a Shark SC in the R41 this morning.

I paid the price . . . with what can best be described as "road rash."

Clearly, I've found a blade that works . . . and one that doesn't.

At least for me.

I figure I'm down a pint, but in the true spirit of B&B, who cares?

I got a BBS shave. LOL

I traded my Astra SP for a feather a few days ago. I've used it twice but I don't think it suits me either - I didn't bleed much but the shave itself wasn't very close & left with with a few irritation spots on my lower neck. I've sharks to try next....wish me luck!

Good luck, Sarge!

Remember, we only have five quarts to give. LOL

Good luck with the new blade- you never know how it will turn out for you- either a BBS, or a PIF!

The only way to find out if their any good is to try them. Otherwise you'll never know, and only have others reports to go by.

Didn't care to much for the Sharks

My best results with the R41 were with the 7:00 Yellow.
Astra SP was a nicely shaving 2nd place.
Derby was my first blade and it was a bloodbath.

Give the Yellows a try

that must have been a hell of a shave to give you skidmarks. even oxiclean ain't gonna help that symptom..they only go away with a fresh pair of underwear!

I get the same thing with Sharks. lots of redness.

Oh so much razor rash going through the blade sampler !!

I get the same thing with Sharks. lots of redness.

And lots of brownness.

I found the sharks better than the feather but still a little irritation around the lower neck / adams apple. They were superb for shaving my head though! Clean as a whistle! Might just have to change the blades about to use different ones for my face & sharks for my head!

And for the Aussie Rules fans you can wear Hawthorn undies.

Yellow in front/brown in back!

^^^ I think the overwhelming stench of s#!t might still give the game away though... ;-)

 

[Whilliam]

It seemed like a good phrase at the time. I just didn't expect to take it in the shorts. LOL

Rub a stick of Arko into them and your good to go.
