The Nacet Stainless are my favorite so far. Nice blend of sharpness and smoothness right out of the wrapper. Barely got a sting from the aftershave afterwards.
...Any blade testing recommendations would be appreciated.
I think you may be right. I got such a good shave from the Nacet that this morning, 24 hours later, I barely had any stubble. So, instead of trying to test another blade I grabbed one of my regular blade/razor combos to do a quick once over touchup before heading to work.My recommendation: save the Nacet for last, otherwise you may loose interest in testing the other blades.

Today was the Wilkinson Sword. Another excellent shave. No weepers and no irritation. Right up there with the Nacets and Voskhods. Starting to wonder if my results are having more to do with using the same razor everyday than the blades themselves.

Yeah. Once I weed out the ones I know I really don't care to try again, I'll go back and try each of the others for three or four more shaves.To verify that you may want to go back to the Shark etc to see if that is true?
However I do find that Voskhod, Rapira and Wilkinson sword German blades to be extremely similar in my usage.
I'm not sure. I'll use it tomorrow and see if there's any distinguishing markings on the package or blade.Is that blue Personna a "Med Prep"?
It turned out to not really be my thing. I always wanted to see if I could do it. It was kind of a curiosity of "If the fit ever hit the shan and I couldn't buy blades, could I live with a straight razor?" kind of thing. Once I knew I could do it, I didn't really have any care to do it anymore. Lol!Our posts must have crossed midstream.
Glad to see you’re back at it.
How was the straight razor?
