Well this was a first for me, a Pal a Super Carbon blade kindly given to me by
@Norfolkdick. I was looking forward to using it in my Gem natural angle So after lathering up with the superb SV Tundra Artica I got down to it, within a couple of strokes I knew I was in for a smooth shave. Not only is this blade smooth it is also super sharp, I could have stopped at the second pass which would have left me with a DFS but with soap left in the bowl and my need for perfect smoothness made me carry on. On the third pass I was as smooth as can be and it was the smoothest shave I have ever had from this razor.....these blades are fantastic. I realise that I will get a couple fewer shaves from one of these blades than I do from the Personna a Gem stainless blades and I know they are three times the price but if I was a rich man I would not hesitate to buy these because they are nothing short of fantastic.
Thank you Dick, that was the most enjoyable shave I've had with this razor.
Finnished off with a splash of Thayers and once dryed I applied a few drops of Jojoba oil to my skin as a general moisturiser.
A spray of the wonderful Molecule 01 on my chest and a dab or three of Bond number 9 New York here and there.
Wishing you all a good day........
