Switched to a Gillette Platinum today ... can't make my mind up which is sharper / smoother between this and Silver Blue ... erring that the Silver Blue is a touch smoother but jury still out on sharpness.

Lovely shave and the scent on this is fantastic but I'm also tending to think the MDC is just a little better in all areas overall - very very close though ....

First time out using the Agrumes from MDC and it is a top performer with a beautiful subtle scent that is hard to describe ... pairs perfectly with the Camomile MDC balm. Lather was great with a glossy sheen that lasted to the end of the shave - great glide and protection and a post shave feel that is superb !

Karve performed as usual and the Gillette Platinum contributed to an easy 10/10 shave.
