OK, used one today in my ol' reliable English "ball end"
Tech that never disappoints. So as not to appear I was putting my "thumb on the scales" I refrained from using any artsy fartsy artisan soap and used an old
Palmolive shave stick for objectivity.
Within the first inch or so on the first stroke it was readily apparent it was a bona fide
Gillette blade as the smoothness was superb. Keen blade and just another uneventful, i.e., normal,
Gillette DE shave. I should give credit as well to the failsafe reliability of the
Palmolive shave stick as well. Sure, it smells like your aunt's laundry room, but the SOB works like a charm.
Note: I am getting ready to send over a care pckg. to "youze" guys (donnie, Boycie & Irish Russell) of obscure, rare & discod.
Gillette DE blades to try. Just waiting on my
Gillette London Bridge blades to clear Customs.
