I had a Cracking Shave this Morning with My Otto Busch 6/8th..This is Quite a Heavy Blade for a Carbon Steel Full Hollow Grind..Its a Hunk of a Blade..The Otto Busch is a Very Classy SR & its a Top Class Shaver..It has a Killer Edge & Smooth as Butter..The Scales are Quite Unusual in that they are Pointed at the End..Its Got a Kinda Sinister Look about it & the German V 2 Rocket Always Springs to Mind..

Captain fuzzy here,
Good and bad news,
probably had the best shave I have ever had,
Gold dollar SR (only on the cheek bits, until I became too scared) better scared than scar'd
Merkur progress
Wilkinson sword blade(2)
Omega pura setola brush
Maca root shaving cream,
Alum,
Nivea lotion
Hugo Boss dark blue
Shave was super smooth, but the baboons arse was back, it's not even where I lather my face, but my cheeks above the beard,
I think I will park the maca root for a month, then try it again, see if it makes a difference,
I only bought the Omega to see if it was better or worse than my current brush, that has no marking, it was smaller but worked ok, probably improve with use
Pre prep was a shower, so definitely no signs of clingons
Sounds like those blades are not for you, I have never used them so could not comment on what they are like. Try another make of blade. Have you got any Astra SPs?Prep: Shower
Soap: Arko soap stick
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
Blade: Supermax Super Plantium (2)
Brush: Omega 49 Bristle
Post: Cold rinse, alum block, cold rinse, Nivea Cool Ice Gel
Aftershave: Vera Wang
Everything the same as yesterday but bloody awful shave. The blade on the down pass was scratchy and didn't take off as much as it did yesterday. 3rd up pass was abandon have way through. In hindsight should have ditched the blade and got a new one.
Wasn't impressed with this blade yesterday and certainly not today. I was hoping my TOBS cream samples was coming today but glad it didn't I would have been totally p'ed off wasting them on a bobbins shave like this.
Sharks are a nice smooth blade, as for the Yellow 7o'Clocks they are one of my favourites at the moment, you can't go wrong with Astra SP though..great value,great shaves.Astra was the first ever blade I tried and up to now it's my favorite but I've only tried (in order of pref)
1. Astra SP
2. Perma-Sharp
3. Derby
4. Supermax Plat Plus
I've got a few more to get through including Sharks and Green/Yellow Gillette 7 O'Clocks and the Nacet when they come. I'm viewing this as learning curve to find a suitable one
