I've even tried the old Blue Blades. The Darwin was better.I have some NOS Gillette Blades, I've never though it wise to use them thinking that they wouldn't be good after the passing years. Noticing you're using a NOS blade, I might give one a go.

Back to using my preferred brand of cream today. Just fantastic, easy to lather and a great smooth comfortable shave. Good day to you.

Now today's shave was setup and ready to go but I received a mail call yesterday and in it was a very minty Feather Professional Artist Club SS Kamisori. Cleaned it and sanitized yesterday and decided to give it a go today! Loaded up with a Feather Pro Guard blade. Of course the iKon SBS was on stand by as was the local trauma team. I have never used such a razor...ever.
Soap of the day TFS Rasozero Spiffero which is a minty scent. Very nice and slick. Treated myself to the pre-shave cream also which is more of the same minty goodness!
Well with a face full of lather and a bit of trepidation I set about my “straight†journey. First pass with the grain, both sides of the face and that left the cheeks almost done! What?! One pass?! Come on! Put it down and checked to make sure. Holy smokes was that close! No nicks, no weepers, no blood! Now let's not get cocky. Finished the underside of the chin and well let's just stop here. Very nice! Well I continued on with the iKon SBS through passes two and three but there wasn't a lot to do however, my neck wasn't up to the Kamisori just yet. So BBS overall. I will continue to use my Kamisori out the gate until I get the technique down.
Happy shaves all!
