14 Sep 2022: 8.5 BAS Moderate stubble, 2 nicks, 2 weepers. The Treet Classic and my WCS84S didn’t seem to work well this morning. Perhaps the WCS84S is too hefty for this blade. Yet post shave, my face is reasonably smooth. Tomorrow, I will use this blade in my Van der Hagen. Continuing to use the Noble Otter Lonestar with my Gray Dog brush.

Thanks, @BobbyB . Just a reminder to put the reviews over on the main review page, so we can have them all in one place.

18 Sep 2022: Today’s shave with a Treet Dura Sharp blade in my Van der Hagen razor, with Noble Otter Lonestar soap, along with my Gray Dog brush, yielded a 9.8 BBS rating shave with only token stubble to buff off. Also, there were no nicks or weepers or scab removal. This blade / razor combinations seems to work quite well together.

Just checking in to let you know the blades arrived in the Saturday mail. Looking forward to participating after Single Edge September. I will post in the main Carbon Forest Treet thread. Thank you @slimshavy and @T Bone !

19 Sep 2022: Today the Treet Dura Sharp blade, my King C Gillette razor, Noble Otter Lonestar soap, and Omega--11126 brush, yielded a 10.0 BBS shave. Only minimal stubble remained after my WTG and XTG passes which a few buffing strokes resolved.

I just cut and pasted it there. I will try to remember to post there starting tomorrow.

Mines just arrived this Friday (9/23/22), must have been a long trek to Canada. I plan on starting with the milder blades like the black beauty, then move on to the others. Btw can someone chime-in and let me know which blades are on the milder or sharper end of the spectrum?

That’s actually pretty quick! Canada post can take awhile. Glad you got them and looking forward to your reviews at Carbon Forest of Treets: A deep dive into carbon steel double-edge blades - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/carbon-forest-of-treets-a-deep-dive-into-carbon-steel-double-edge-blades.625422/
You can look there to see how the different blades have performed.
