    I've been wondering about heavier blades - do you get better shaves with them?

    Soap: BdF Mistero
    Razor: Gillette NEW Short Comb
    Blade: Vintage Personna 74 Tungsten (24)
    Brush: Plisson #12 Badger-22mmx56mm

    BdF Mistero today. 20 seconds to load the Plisson Badger. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Personna 74 still in the NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Henri et Victoria-Cognac & Cuban Cigars.

    Ice-cold, smooth, very, very comfortable, as well as soothing and so pleasurable from the Glacial Wintergreen trio. A little Arctique aftershave and I was good to go with a super-frozen face! :happy088: :happy088:

    I am Not Sure I Would Say I Get Better Shaves...They Just Feel Different & the Technique is More Subtle..This Razor Here is Not for the Faint Hearted..It Demands a Super Light Touch...I Cant Say for Sure but I Reckon a Blade like this was Aimed Primarily at Skilled Barbers..I Would Say this Razor is Sharper than a Feather Pro Blade in an Artist Club..:D

    If Someone was using this as a Beginner they Would have a Nasty with it for Sure..It Leaves Very Little Room for User Error..The Grind Obviously Comes into it as Well..Full Hollow Grinds are Generally More Forgiving in My Experince...That Said the Atlas is as Manoeuvrable as a Smaller 5/8th which Doesn't Quite Figure I Know..;)

    This is a Very Heavy Blade & it Just Falls through the Whiskers but Moves Like a Ferrari Sports Car..:happy088:
