Blind Blade Comparison Test,

Thanks to my lovely wife for loading up the razors with the blades.

And the winner is.............................

Israeli, day 2
Vulfix 2234 (dusted it off...)
50% Tom's of Maine Mint
50% KMF Refreshing Mint
Feather Kanwa
Trumper Marlborough EdT

This is the second time I have done this. I love this combo - slick, minty, moisturizing lather up the ying yang. Nice!

 

[Suzuki]

GEM open-comb micromatic with Pella blade
Simpson Rover
JM Fraser
Alum block
Body Shop tea tree oil freshener
Jason tea tree a/s gel
Arden Sandalwood EDT

I'm finally getting the hang of the GEM - still got a couple of nicks and some burn, but at least the shave is worth it. For some reason, this razor seems to work a little better with a slightly faster stroke, which is somewhat dangerous given that this razor is somewhat aggressive and very sensitive to the angle of attack.
