I have a Blade dispenser kindly printed off for me by Sean
@Northam Saint and i basically loaded it up last year with a mixture of my blade stash, vowing to use whatever blade comes out next. Well today it was my Nemesis the highly regarded Polsilver SI
.
Todays shave was all about the blade, i had a nice lather, the brush is feeling really nice now and the razor is hard to beat for an adjustable DE.
I had a nice chin covering so off i went starting on my go to setting of #2.75, Yip, that's a Polsilver alright, not tugging but feeling dull as it cuts through the stubble, it does its job but for me it does not feel as if its cutting cleanly. I took the razor down to #2 for the XTG pass, i got the same feeling but the blade is doing a great job, i then set the razor to #3.25, this time the blade felt a bit smoother but i have plenty of blades that feel better during the shave.
The finish is undeniably comfortable and BBS smooth, its just during the shave it feels as if its going to be a rough finish, not my favourite blade, however, i am going to run with it, the Stainless Karve is up next - heres hoping the blade feels better during that shave
.
Happy Easter everyone, stay safe and enjoy your day.
