Greetings!
I've been using the Merkur Progress for the last 8 months, usually with the Feather blade, setting 2.5 (I have tried about 10 other blades: Astra, Derby, Voskhod, Big Ben, Shark, Lord... and really like the Feather the most). I hope to be traveling again soon, and bought a Lord L6 to test.
I used the Lord/Feather combo, and really felt the razor burn, no nicks or blood, though. I am wondering if I should choose a less aggressive blade with the Lord. Any thoughts on this?
I actually like the construction of the Lord, not up to the level of a Merkur but certainly better than disposable razors! I usually have about 5 shaving kits set up at all times: one large one for car or train trips, 2 medium size ones for the office and for the car, a small one for 1-2 day overnight flights, and a larger one for longer air trips. This is what works, as I can't stand either scrambling at the last minute to put things together, or arriving in a city and needing to take trips to the convenience store to get toiletries I don't like...
Thanks!
