Fatboy on 7, 9, 3 with Personna 74 (2nd shave)
Second use of this blade, this time in a different razor. It's certainly very sharp. I know how close it could get so I go for bbs and get so close but my skin can't take it. Half my neck can't tolerate a super-close shave but the other half can and it gets it. I end up with irritation trying. Very nice blade and works well in the fatboy
What's doin buddy,
Sounds like that blade is a sorta mixed bag for you so far. I know I wouldn't want to try one in an aggressive razor, seeing as how they approach a Feather for sharpness. Using it in an adjustable dialed to 7&9 would be unthinkable for me.
Speaking of that, I saw your three different settings during that shave. Now that's a kinda odd thing......the order I mean. i notice other guys who start out high and then back off for the later passes, but I don't understand why.
To me, starting low and gradually raising the bite is part of the whole reduction thingy. In my mind, it's gonna be the most comfortable shave and also probably the closest by leaving the most aggressive setting till last. Otherwise, it's kinda like starting with an AGT pass first, if that makes sense.
Heh, should be interesting to hear how the Personna 74 injector blade works out.
