Cool to hear the Treet worked well, I've been umming and ahhing about trying a Treet in my Blue Tip (because it had a carbon steel blade in it when I found it), so I might finally give it a go soon
The Treet Blacks are decent enough blades for a shave or two. I did manage to push one through One Blade In February, but I wouldn't do that again! I find they work better in milder razors like the Blue Tip than in more aggressive ones.
I have to admit that leaving the Treet black in the Blue Tip and skipping a day did not result in a great shave today. The blade didn't tug, but it barely cut the two day growth. I suspect I should have used a fresh blade.
Tried a Treet carbon steel in the Blue Tip today, and despite being a bit nervous about it, it turned out great! Smooth and comfortable, even ATG. Curious how the second shave will fare.

Blue Monday shave. Treet worked well in its second use, might push it to a third.
Razor: English Gillette Blue Tip Super Speed
Blade: Treet Carbon Steel (3rd shave), BIC Chrome Platinum (1st shave)
Brush: Omega S-Brush S10019
Soap: Noble Otter Bare
Aftershave: Thayer's Unscented Witch Hazel, Quorum Silver
Third shave with the Treet, it was comfortable if ineffective for the first pass, but just wasn't cutting it ATG, so replaced with a fresh BIC. First time using the new S-Brush, my first synthetic, and it's easy to use and comfortable. My only complaint is that the handle is a bit slippery and featureless. Second time using the Noble Otter, and I added more water which helped a great deal, but it still felt like it dried a bit on my face.
