Ok Wow Is All I Can Say!
I have a selection of around 20 different DE blades and love/like all of them, for different reasons, in different razors.
A box of 10 blades that I have ignored since they arrived for free along with a purchase took my eye today, they are called Bluebeards Revenge, they are plain with no printing and I thought ok lets have a go with one of these.
Expecting the worst, but hoping for at least no nicks/burn etc I threw one into the RR GC .84 SB.
Combined with a new soap, this blade was amazing, I’m not one to rush a pass in any direction but this blade positively encouraged it!, Its the first blade I have ever used that felt as easy to move ATG as it was WTG.
Looking into these blades they cost £29.99 for a 100, so very pricey, and they are PTFE coated, which I’m assuming accounts for the super easy glide in all pass directions, I will use it again tomorrow to see if it‘s a one shave blade
Even if it is a one shave blade I might buy a few more as an occasional treat, like my Feather blades are.
So in closing a FF/BBS Shave, the closest I can recall for a while.
Have a great weekend all.
Joe
