Aye..Dick.No pressure at all with these Stropping Blades..The Auto Strops can be Tricky to Use..If the Blade is Tugging its Not Shave Ready..Auto Strop Designs Do tend to lend themselves with too much Pressure..

Ikon deluxe head on bulldog handle
Personna Double edge (2)
Alum (remembered this time!)
Speick ASB

Changed back to the bulldog handle after feeling 'raw' last shave and.... Still not great. After lots of great shaves with the ikon deluxe last week it's been poor since swapping the rapira swede with the Personna double edge (the ones in the bulky metal packs of 10). Perhaps not a great combo (it surely couldn't be poor technique ) despite trying to be more careful and not going xtg on neck picked up a few weapers. This inspired me to remember to use the alum this time. Better.

The vulfix loft seems far too much but it gives me really silky lather when applying after bowl lathering. Haven't tried it with a properly 'hard' soap yet though.
