I got so excited I forgot to take a pic. New CJB which as far as I can tell is DX clone. Feather Pro blade. Had a few weepers on one side of my neck but no bloodbath.
Today was my experimental shave with Feather SS clone and Derby Extra half-blade (#7 and #8).
A very good shave. Bigger blade reveal helped me to avoid (annoying) bump of SS resulting in effortless
and comfortable face and head shave. As bonus - to load a blade is much-much more easy than with with ordinary swing-back or push-in DE-shavettes ! This combo will most defenitly be in my rotation !
Still have to admit two weepers on my neck !
Feather DX razor with Feather Professional blade again
P.S. Homelike Taiga is for 3rd ATG pass in neck area only (Level 1) which is weird with shavette i.e. Hair growth is toward backwards.
No photo, but I used my CJB with a Kai mild blade today. It's definitely very smooth, but the shave was noticeably less close than I get from a Feather pro, or any of my traditional straights.
