Could be a Kai blade? they don't normally have any markings and come in white paper...Blade • ? (No markings/plain white wrapper?)
I think you may be right. It's on It's third use, and still plenty sharp.Could be a Kai blade? they don't normally have any markings and come in white paper...

Casting my mind back, I believe Iain, @Digimonkey sent it to me a few years ago - to steer me away from using Shark blades? . .
I think you are right Shubs. It reminds me of a Kai. It's a rigid/thick blade.Sounds like a Kai. The other unbranded blade in plain packaging I can think of is a Personna Tomy, which isn't a very sharp blade.
Reading about all the reformulations of the Mitchell’s soap you maybe have just got a dud.What i do to get a good lather is use a wettish boar brush(I’ve found boar works better for me than badger for this soap)on a wetted puck and really go to town on the soap for a good 30 secs pushing the brush into the soap to get it right into the knot and then slowly add water into my bowl until it is nice and creamy.SOTD Sat 3 Feb 2024

Really disappointed with ‘The Fat’. Lathered up quite well, I used hardly any water, just what the brush retained after a quick dip and shake and it was thick and creamy
View attachment 116554 but started to dissipate as I watched, so I took a pic. By this time it was getting runny, tried whipping more, but same kept happening. After about 10 mins of this I added a squirt of Nivea Liquid Shaving Cream to the mix. This seemed to stabilise the lather enough to get some on my face. Shave then was ok, enough slip to complete 2 passes and enough left for face wash (although it was starting to thin a bit). I don’t think it’s me, maybe our water is too hard or maybe I’ve just got a dud example. Oh well, I’ll try again but not sure if I want to do this for a whole month! Nice bowl though!
On a lighter note, I’m feeling much better today, still a bit chesty but definitely improving. Thank God as it was getting to 2 weeks so was starting to wonder if it was flu or covid (been vaccinated, but I know you can still catch them). Hopefully not.
