A bit of a strange shave today,
Firstly, i had a nice lather whisked up on the face with the JR #355, with the first stroke the Superinox (4) felt very rough, i checked everything - OK, strange, it was really good on its 3rd outing.
I decided to change the blade out, the next one out of the blade dispenser was a Gillette Platinum.
First time i have tried one of these and it gave a similar shave feel as the Polsilver gave me, not tugging and definitely cutting but not smooth, i had the razor set on #3, i tried #4 then settled on #5, again, like a PSI going XTG and ATG felt a bit better during the shave and the resulting skin feel was great.
The bummer - i caught my Adams apple on about the last stroke ATG, not a bleeder and was quickly dealt with during a cold water rinse.
No indication from witch hazel or splash and a lovely BBS finish with a tiny nick on the AA.
A nice post shave leaving me puzzled about the whole thing.
I will give the GP blade another run out to see if it smooths out.
BBS, comfortable and smelling Good.
Stay safe and enjoy your Day All
