vikings sword :huh: blade

old spice whitewater AS

id ordered some vikings sword blades off ebay to try out and received them today. when i cracked the packet open inside the vikings sword box where rimei platinum(??) blades in yellow and blue wrappers, never heard of them. i put one in my razor and tried it nonetheless. im decidedly underwhelmed by them, they werent too sharp and tugged a little, and the shave wasnt that close. on the plus side no blood and zero irritation.
 
MONDAY EVENING

English Red Tip Superspeed
Rapira (1)
Culmak Junior
Mama Bears Lime Soap
Witch hazel
Castle Forbes AS balm

As my face has recovered from being 'R41ed' I thought I'd go a bit more aggressive tonight.

And, as fortune would have it, it worked really well and gave me a really nice BBS, no irritation but one weeper on the mouth.

These Rapira blades aren't bad either. Nearly fell off my chair when I saw how cheap they are at Bestshave. The problem is building up enough of an order to get the free postage!
