Second shave with the Yaqi AC and the Feather Professional. Another super shave! I can certainly feel the blade doing its thing ... right.
Lovely!

Blade: Gillette Blue (1)
Post: Superdrug Sierran Breeze ASL, Baxter of California Balm
With the Gillette Blue being the only unknown quantity in today's setup, it really was all about the blade. 2nd of the Gillette range sent to me by @gthe in response to my PIF pack offer recently, the first pass WTG was smooth, but pickup seemed poor. However second pass ATG kicked in and left a brilliant, DFS finish with little touch-up needed. Very, very nice - it felt less sharp than a Winner, but the finish was smooth with zero irritation and a lovely feel. The Baxter is growing on me - it just does what it should. At first it seemed to leave a film on my face, but after working further to massage it in on application it's giving a fine finish.
For future reference, can anyone confirm where the current Super Gillette Blues are made (I assume China), and how to order genuine ones in the UK? If I remember correctly these were near the top of the counterfeit blades table.
