stellablade said:That I shall have to try. I recently got hold of a Slim Twist. I suspect that the SI/Polsilver blades (like you I assume they're the same blades) don't agree with me. I tried them in the DE89 and Parker 26C and they gave me a sore face.
Shemen Zait said:I didn't like this blade when used in the EJ but it is the dog's egg muffins in a Gillette slim twist. I use the Super Iridium at the moment which I think is the old name for the Polsilver (i might be wrong) and so far 7 shaves and going well so these are good survivers as well.
Removed the Polsilver I used yesterday from from the EJ81 and put it in my Merkur Progress this morning. Set adjustment to circa 2+ (same setting as when using Astra SP blades) and had another close shave using the same pre and post shave setup as yesterday . Again, very close shave with a hint of redness after rinsing off, which soon subsided following the use of A/S and moisturiser.
