Tackleberry said:I've used feathers but they are not better for me and they are a LOT more expensive than the Blue Diamonds.
majortom said:Used a Lord Platinum (Egypt) for the first time this morning. These blades normally get a good review for sharpness etc, so I was a bit dismayed when I started to shave to find the blade dragging almost as badly as a Derby. However, surprisingly, after the first pass, this improved and I ended up with a really close and comfortable shave. Don't know if this is how the blades normally are, or if that was just a one off in the pack. Will try a few more this week, really like them.
Good thinking. I'll try that tomorrow or Sunday.Rico said:majortom said:Used a Lord Platinum (Egypt) for the first time this morning.

With blades that are a bit tuggy on the first pass but then get better, have you
considered hand stropping the blade before use. It may just clean up the
microscopic rough edge so it's smooth from pass one. YMM.... Blah...Blah..! :icon_cheesygrin:
