I know exactly what you're talking about!
What razor/blade did you use today
- Thread starter highball
- Start date
EJ 89 and King C. Gillette. A DFS.
3/20: Lord L6, Rainbow SS, AOS badger, Irish Spring, SkinBracer. Nice shave. BBS. Next shave: YUMA
A ‘65 Slim Adjustable and a Super-Max Platinum.
Reminder to self: A new Feather blade deserves respect and a LIGHT touch. No blood, but some burn today. Swiping away with abandon is not recommended. For that I will unleash the Superman SE loaded with a GEM PTFE (glass scraper) blade.
Razor: Razorock GameChanger .84
Blade: Iridium Super (1st use)
Cream: GeoTrumper Sandalwood
Post Shave: Cold water rinse, witch hazel and a few mins later Nivea After Shave Balm
3 Pass for BBS on face and DFS+ chin/neck.

Razor: Blackland Blackbird Lite (71)
Blade: Gillette Nacet (1)
Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: RazoRock Plissoft Monster Synthetic Shaving Brush - 26mm
Lather: Stirling Soap Naked & Smooth
Aftershave: Cold water rinse; Stirling Soap Co Unscented Post Shave Balm
No nicks; No irritation; Very close; smooth; DFS+ shave. The Nacet appears to be less sharp than the Perma-Sharp Super on the first shave. The Nacet was almost tugging ATG on the first shave. A little buffing was needed on the upper lip. I would prefer the Perma-Sharp based on first shave results. Next up will be a new Gillette PermaSharp Super (Gold & Red box) shave number 1.

RFB with Ti Crown handle/Feather - thanks again Kirk@Latherati !
Razor: New GC .84 with super knurl handle
Blade: New Treet Platinum
Soap: B&M Bay Rum
One heck of a shave for the very first go with it. 7 days of stubble mowed down in 2 passes, a third for cleanup. One true nick on my chin after I tapped it by accident. One small weeper on my jawline. No razor bumps, burn or redness. DFS+ shave.
Gillette Click + 2nd use Dorco ST300
Wolfman WR1/Personna lab (6)
Mystery ¿Chinese? Oc/Sb razor with an astra. First use of both with very nice results.
Wolfman WR2 1.25 SB/Wizamet (1):
Gillette Red Tip Super Speed / Dorco ST 301 (1)
These aren't my favorite blades but for some reason this one did a great job in the Red Tip!

Blackland Era #5 SB, Polsilver Stainless (5)
Wolfman WR2 1.15 DC / Timeless crown handle
Wizamet super iridium (3)
Preshave: The cube
Soap: Snake Bite - Not too impressed. Not as much menthol as Stirling glacials and doesn't smell that great for an unscented soap. Lather is good though.
After Shave: Snakebite + Floid Genuine
