I could only get through 2 passes today with this blade, man was it rough and tuggy. I did my normal routine which is as follows

Splashing my face with hot water and scrubbing with fingertip for 3-4 minutes
Razor: Rex Ambassador
Blade: Treet “black beauty” Carbon Steel
Pre: Proraso White
Oil: Maggards Lime
Post: Proraso Green
Splash:Fine Accoutrements American Blend

Immediately had to alum block my face after my second pass, this treet blade is absolute garbage! Dull and rough as you can get! WTG was fine, i noticed it was not very sharp imo but got the first pass done okay, went to XTG which confirmed the dullness followed by tugging and just discomfort I would not even attempt ATG with this blade. I hoped carbon steel woulda given me a nice sharp hard edge but i was wrong! Does anybody have good experience with these blades?
