A very uncomfortable shave.
I started with the Gillette Platinum on it's second use and found it very tuggy. I swapped it for a Shark and there wasn't much of an improvement. Not sure what coursed this. Maybe the lighter handle? Funny thing was the finished results were better than when I used the original handle.

A very good midweek shave, the Red Ring is very smooth and efficient for a DE and the Lea ASL is excellent stuff imo.
Happy Shaving one and all.
