It was definitely my poor lather that hindered the shave performance yesterday.
A great shave today with the General and a 9 shave Feather PB, it's still very smooth, although, it has not had the normal amount of passes per shave as both razors have worked really well giving good longevity.
The Lather today was just wonderful, i really like Bay Rum and the Stirling soap has plenty of scent to it.
2 Passes for a BBS & comfortable finish, i have been really spoiled his week from the performance of both.
So - - Who won??
I call it a draw.

What you get (minus washers)
So,
My beard type is medium<, at least that's the best razors i get on with, i definitely do not have a heavy beard.
Both razors work really well for me using both Kai Captain and Feather PB blades. I also do not have sensitive skin, on the contrary, i believe my skin is about as sensitive as a Blacksmiths Apron.
I am very happy i own these 2 excellent razors and can recommend both, YMMV of course.
The choice is yours.
have a great day All
