Interesting. It felt a bit rougher than most blades for me. Not as rough as Derby but getting there. However, ATG was pretty smooth so it might be the initial blade sharp feeling. I'll try it with other razors and see if anything changes. I'm thinking of my Gillette old type but also a bit concerned, haha.It's funny how YMMV. I really like the 7OC Greens, just behind the Nacet as my favorite blade. However, at this point, I have about 23 tucks of Nacets, and since I go through them at the rate of about one blade per month - give or take - I'm set for quite a while. I've also got three tucks of Balzanos that came with my Fatip Piccolo; maybe I'll give those a try during OCtober, just to see how they fare.
