T&H No. 10 cream
MÜHLE Silvertip Fibre
MÜHLE R89 Grande
Personna 'Lab' blue
Anthony Logistics 'Astringent'
After much enabling I bought the No.10. The performance seems ok but I'm not a fan of the scent... might have to PIF it. The blade was received in a trade so I'm not sure if it's the most 'current' version, the printing is different to those on Connaught's website. If I have old ones I hope the newer blades perform better as I found this blade average at best. As for Anthony Logistics Astringent, I'm glad I only bought the travel size. It smells like dentists mouth rinse and performs about as well. Much as I like the R89 it doesn't seem to be getting close enough, maybe I should try a shim, maybe it's a cream/blade/prep/technique/insert your excuse here thing. I find the Progress slightly more effective than the 89 and for some reason thought that the progress put more flex on the blade due to a steeper geometry. Looking at the two side by side, the head caps are almost identical.
The shave was comfortable, the results were rubbish. Back to the drawing board.
