A really good shave today, starting with the lather I'd not used my 80265 for a while as I've been largely been using other boar brushes (some new) and forgot how superb a performer the 80265 is. In terms of efficiency it seems to almost be up there with my synths and it's so much more efficient than all my other boar brushes. It has the perfect amount of scrub and backbone as well, more backbone than the other Omegas with the same sized knots I own.
In the PIF box of blades from @Blademonkey there were some Bic Chrome Platinums, which I'd used before and found them incredibly sharp but very rough to the face. It was a fair old while back when I last used one so I thought it might be a good idea to test out one once again now that I have a slightly better technique and some more razors. I put the blade into one of my mildest razors, a pre war Fat Handle Tech and in the shave the combination was truly superb, smooth and efficient, with at times it felt like there was no blade in the razor.
Anyway chaps, have a good start to the week/Month!
