So Many Blades to Try

[Kix]

Just an average shave with an average blade. It wasn't particularly comfortable.

Well, if nothing else, the wrapper is pretty cool!

 

[FarmerTan]

It is a Lord blade, made in Egypt.

Thanks for the info my friend. I bet I'll like it.

I agree with you about the Gillette Silver Blue 100%. Wondefully smooth and quite sharp, but I've used sharper blades. It is one of my favorites!

Agreed, it's a cool retro wrapper. and thanks for the feedback @Jay21, we're on the same wavelength with the GSB!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your clear, concise and to the point reviews, but take care of your health first.

Get well soon!

 

[Beto Salatini]

Congratulations on your posts. They are great.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Be well, my friend.

I need you looking and feeling your best my friend, because there is no joy in it for me if you are the second most "handsome-est faced" David on Badger and Blade, but can use your health for an excuse in your inability to dethrone me!

Seriously tho, keep on the mend. I enjoy the banter more when you are firing on all 8 cylinders.

 

[Kent Kimmons]

Please get well soon, your absence will be felt.

 

[Balin]

Thanks for this thread and get well soon!

Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon. I'm sending good energy your way.

 

[Eric_75]

On my bestest days I am just a wee little speck in your rear view mirror for trying to catch you as the most handsomest faced Dave!

Thank you for your friendship. I do enjoy the banter, my friend.
