Well what a shave this was & not in a good way.
I received some blades from
@Bruce the other day which i’m very grateful for.
Gillette Goal which i haven’t heard of,
I made a comment that they looked like Gillette Super Thins and
@Bruce kindly sent me some to make my own mind up.
The packaging is Suoer Thins for sure with the only difference being the Goal.
Both also Platinum.
On first stroke i thought these are decent
then after a few strokes i turned the razor and had the most dreadful experience.
The blade was blunt, tuggy & everything else we don’t get from modern blades.
i persevered for another couple of strokes but had to stop as it was ripping me to bits.
Now i’m not to keen on the Timeless so this had my mind thinking is it the blade or razor although i knew all along it was the blade.
I swapped the razor out for the Feather AS-D2 but nope still the same experience from one side of the blade only.
I quickly swapped the blade out to a Nacet and continued with my first pass.
What a difference totally night & day.
i’m going to try this blade again tomorrow,
not the same blade that’s in the bank but another from the same box.
I’m hoping this one blade has escaped the qc department but who knows.
Over all after my experience with this blade i still had a terrific shave although this will probably be my last shave with the Timeless before i stick it on the BST.
i’m in a habit of keeping stuff i’m not using so they are better off with people that will use & appreciate.
Until Tomorrow Stay Safe
