I received my PIF from Toothpick on Thursday, and pulled a random blade from the pack this morning. - A Wilkinson Sword by Gillette.
This morning, I decided to install it into my QShave (Futur Clone), set on 3, which I'm very familiar with. Used Proraso Green Cream, face lather using my RR 26mm Monster, following my morning shower.
First pass, I actually had to check the setting on my razor, it was too smooth feeling. Prior blade was a Kai up until this morning. This is Not the same blade as the German Classics I bought a couple months ago. Very smooth and apparently sharp. I was pretty much BBS after the second pass, with just a couple spots of touch up needed. So far I really like this blade.
I actually got a little too brazen or overly confident, and did get a small nick or weeper on my chin, and it was my fault, not the blade. - I'm editing the phrase I'd like to use, referring to a male organ. It was my fault, wasn't bad, and only knew when I noticed the small spot of blood. This Wilkinson Sword was confident inspiring with it's smoothness.
I'd like to know which Wilkinson blade this is, as they sell blades from 4, possibly more countries.
I'll probably move this to a less smooth razor for the next shave, to test it's metal. Maybe my slim, or an open comb. - I have a New LC or better a Pearl OC Head (which is usually a bit too aggressive for me), that would really test its smoothness. I may skip the shave tomorrow to really give it a test Monday.
