Blade was about done, so not as close & smooth as last couple of shaves, but the Slant still amazes me.
 
Super Iridium (2)
Long comb New
Kent Infinity Silvertex
Stirling Scots Pine shaving soap
Home made vetiver aftershave

Was really in the mood for this soap for some reason and wasn't disappointed. Blade, however, had lost a lot of performance being left in a shook dry razor for 24 hours.

Blade: Personna 74

Hey, I guess there's room on the Personna 74 bandwagon for one more :)

I've just had my 5th shave with mine and can say it does still feel like a new blade as I haven't noticed much difference from the first shave, in fact it's improving.

Are you going to see how many shaves you can get out if it?

Enjoy.

I started getting a little creeped out after the 15th shave. Tossed the blade a few shaves later, but it coulda gone a few more times probably. The performance stayed at a high level for quite a while before gradually tapering off to still very good, but not great shaves. Pretty amazing blade.

Jeez, I sure hope Paul doesn't get too fond of those things. I would hate to be the cause of any new tiny little monkeys hopping on his back.
