Another really nice shave. I'm going to put the Lord Super Chrome right there with the Dorko.
The Personna Med Prep is known for the "Comfort Coating". The first shave may not seem as close as the subsequent shaves do. The Med Preps are very good blades IMHO and tend to last longer than average.View attachment 1313644
Back at it with the Persona Super. This is the one that has "for hospital use" printed on the blade. This one felt pretty sharp and very stiff. Zero blade chatter. During the first pass I noticed that I could really go on auto-pilot with this one. I could have called it done with a perfectly fine, socially acceptable shave after that first pass. It was actually a very nice close first pass. The funny part was that the next two passes didn't really seem to get the remaining micro stubble any closer. On the ATG pass I tried riding the cap and riding the bar, but it didn't really seem to matter. Still ended up with micro stubble in 40%-50% of the shaved area.
That is a good idea. Then you can do it whenever you want, and not feel like you need to post. I originally started this just as a way to keep notes that I can look back on, but a couple guys started following it, so I tried to stay on task as much as I could and get it done. So, that being said, this morning's shave will finally be the last giveaway pack blade to get the "first impression" test, and I am soooo ready to use my other soaps and razors again. Lol! Stirling Mountain Man is one of my favorite shave stuff scents, but after using it so many times in a row, it's getting put away for a while. Lol! When I go back and revisit each of the blades for a few more times I'm not going to keep a standard testing regimen or anything. They are going to get used in whatever razor and with whatever soap I feel like using, and if I like them I'll keep the wrapper, if I don't, it goes in the trash. It will take months to go through them all, so I'll probably just check back in sometime late this year or early next year with a final favorite. Good luck with your test!I won this month’s giveaway so I might have to steal your idea and test them out. I may just keep notes and post it all at once rather than one by one but we’ll see. I’m with you that committing to using the same razor all the time might be dull. I’ve really enjoyed reading this so keep it up!
