Had a couple of tries of the Tatra now and I’m not all that impressed and seems to blunt pretty quickly. They also feel a lot thinner and flimsy than other blades.

I'll be giving the Tiger and Tatra a run out in the Progress over the next two weeks, starting tomorrow.

I find the Tigers a bit rough, but they do give a very close shave - just not a comfortable one. Will I use the remainder of the 100 I have - yes, will I buy any more - no. (Old and battered Tech + TOBS cream.)
Second shave with Tatra today. Set out to tame it so lots of signature soap, well lathered up, and put the blade in my lovely mild Timeless 68 scalloped.
Better - and a close shave, but still not a smooth experience.
Ferrum above describes it perfectly when he says it leaves the face “smarting”.
Will keep trying

I made the rookie mistake of not checking the blade alignment in the Progress. Overall the shave was fine but not as comfy as I'd have hoped. I've rejigged the blade and will try again on Wednesday

I dialled down my Rex razor to about 2, and persevered with the Tatra blade. After 3 days of it, I can't say that it improved the experience in any way. It certainly gets the whiskers off well enough, but always felt as rough as the proverbial bear's a**e. It reminds me in some ways of the Croma Diamant blades, with which I could not get on.
When I took the blade out this morning, I gave the edge a tentative feel, and it seemed a lot blunter than many other 3-day-used makes.
I suppose it could be something to do with the Rex, but that razor has hitherto behaved impeccably with every variety of blade I've used in it, and at any setting.
Next up will be a Tiger blade, but I'm torn between a Standard and another adjustable, a Black Beauty.
