I believe the result is the same. But the weight and feel of the shave is different with all of 3 Karves...
I also ordered the Alu and Ti ones... They are: Need to Have!!
Have a great weekend!
And
Stay safe!!

Saturday 1st May
French Pink Clay & Charcoal Face Soap
Cella Crema da Barba
DSC w/Blonde Boar 24mm
Muhle Rocca R95
Personna Platinum Chrome (1)
Pinaud Clubman Musk Aftershave Cologne
After a month with the Yaqi Katana, it's good to be back on the Rocca ...
I've also ostensibly finished a run through my SuperMax and assorted Indian subcontinent blades and so before launching into a run through the Lord and Treet houses, I'm just returning to a few blades I used early on when I came to traditional shaving to see if I can challenge some memories, assumptions and conclusions made while still learning my skill.
Up first, the Personna Platinum Chrome (which I think is the Israeli pack < can someone confirm, please?) which I always found to be smooth enough blade but gave me some irritation when I've used it before. I still find it a sharp enough and smooth blade, otherwise really quite devoid of any character. My notes point to it developing with successive shaves, so I'll refrain at this point from making my mind up fully. Suffice to say, no irritation; something I think was due to too much pressure and/or pushing too hard on the first shave before the sharpness has really been revealed. Enjoyed, I suppose, but somewhat in line with many of the chrome blades that I've tried, I struggle to really find its depth.
Much thanks to @Satanfriendly for the Cella soap. Fun to use again. Cheers!

Fantastic shave today with one from my top spot the Koraat near wedge .. never fails to impress so smooth and comfortable and a lovely bit of weight behind it ! Went with the Dusy Kabinett professional finished with the Zingari Man No 1 balm..Heather’s balms are very good soothing and nourishing .. feeling smooth and refreshed what a wonderful way to end the day

Shave brush produces a poor lather but still managed a decent shave finished off with a splash of the aftershave. Shave before bed as up early for 12 hours day shift tomorrow.
