EDT: none for test purposes
Well what a difference a blade makes.
Having recently read various reviews from members here I decided to select the Schick Proline blade so kindly donated to me by the Cobra owner
@Digimonkey . Thank you Iain
I was bitten for the first time this evening on my first stroke. A decent cut under the ear was obtained. Two weepers to follow around the chin but I asked myself, (was it worth it?)
Answer. "Hell yes!"
I think this is the first razor I have ever tried where a blade is
SO important to the shave.
An unbelievable 3 pass shave that has left my skin super smooth.
If I was to review the blades, I.E. The Feather soft Guard V Schick Proline, the Feather would be knocked out in the first round. Despite the fact that I was able to obtain a BB Shave with the Soft Guard, the amount of effort it took had no comparison what so ever to the Proline.
Brush and soap combo was a lovely experience. I used the TOB's LIme soap purely for the purpose of my trial with the balm.
Soap is great stuff and I will comment on the balm as soon as the trial is over.
Enjoy your shaves!
