You are not alone. My trouble spot/areas even a 3 pass won't clear properly is under the jawline and around the adam apple. If I persist then weepers will result.Pre - Trumpers Sandalwood Skin Food

Another comfortable shave with just two passes plus a few touch up areas. Always the same touch up areas. Does anyone else find that? It obviously shows I'm not doing something great on the first two passes.

Blade - Bluebeards Revenge (1)
First time using the Bluebeard's Revenge blade today which came in a plastic tuck of 10 blades with the blades single wrapped without any glue spots and without any markings/printing/etching on the blades much like the Israeli Tomy, which is the OEM blades as used by Tesco & Boots at one time if my memory serves me correct. I had a suspicion the BBR blade might be the Tomy but with a blank unprinted blade the only way to be sure was to use it.
I'd only used one Tomy blade before and it wasn't the best so I was a little apprehensive of the BBR at best so went ahead with a little caution for today's shave where I paired the blade with my go to razor (brush & soap too) and within a stroke it was clear the blade wasn't sharp enough for a mild razor like the Fat Handle Tech and needed something with a bit more efficiency/aggressiveness and I put the blade into a Lord L6 which again wasn't enough and finally managed to get it about right with the Yaqi Cobbed head and it was a struggle to get the shave finished but I was determined to not change the blade midway through the shave.
I had a suspicion the BBR was the Personna Tomy before the shave but after the shave I am 99.9% sure they are the same blade.
