Tatra 7th shave this A.M. Got a very close shave today. The Tatra blade is slowing down so its time for the blade bank. I want to Thank everyone for a great PIF.! The Tatra blade was the Winner for me.
Well done to you!!First shave with Tatra Platinum Blade #2
June 14: I purchased a 100-pack of Tatra Platinum blades ($6.99 introductory price from Italian Barber, June 5-6) due to the excellent performance that I received from the Tatras generously provided by @Grundi for the Participation PIF. This blade is from the new pack:
Still using the Maggard V3 to maintain consistency for testing.
The newly-purchased Tatras look exactly like those from the PIF, from the packaging to the laser etching on the blades to the four large wax blobs affixing them to the wax paper wrapper. However, the question is whether or not they would perform like the Tatras from the PIF...
The answer is an emphatic "Yes"!
My first shave with this blade was excellent. All three passes (WTG, ATG, XTG) were extremely smooth, comfortable, and trouble-free. There was no roughness at any point in my shave. After rinsing my face, I checked for stubble and was pleased to find that I had received a near-BBS shave. There is no post-shave irritation, at all.
Now that their quality has been affirmed, I consider Tatras to be my #1 blade going forward.
Ouch! Get better soon xiletero.Well here I am, not sleeping, good Tiger shave, and a deep finger cut.....3am now....
