    Naw, AC blades are for fancy folk (pretty sure the 'AC' stands for 'All Classy'--I'll double check later on tonight). I'm just a humble DE user. One that makes too many passes with too little lather. ;) :D

    Thanks, Jason! :D

    That's good to know--I still really enjoyed the scent of the soap.

    That was nice Tim!

    Ahhh. That rattles free the memories of my youth. Our pitcher's Grandma used to drive us to games in a 78 Chevette . He went on to be a successful musician and I , a successful father of 3 daughters whom now shapes hunks of wood instead of wildly swinging it at a 15mph fastball . I used to love watching the original 'Bad news bears' movie.

    And hence , my 100 pack of Rockwells sit unopened and wait paitently for the day when I call on them to shine. Maybe when the time comes I'll used them repeatedly until they are nothing but a memory.

    So many passes
    So little lather
    C'mon now Tim
    What's the matter ?
    After two passes
    Put the razor away
    And leave what is left
    For another shave
    Dont chase the baby
    He can be elusive
    Scraping your skin
    Is really abusive
    Stick to two passes
    There is no shame
    If you miss a spot
    We wont lay blame
    Take this advice
    From a man of fifty
    BBS or not
    We still think you're nifty!

    I do well with the Rockwell blades. However, like everything else, ymmv.

    I struggle with light razors too. Now I just avoid them.

    April 16th
    Razor: Paradigm Diamondback
    Blade: Astra SP (1)
    Brush: Rick Montalvo 70/30 badger, boar
    Pre-shave: PAA The Cube
    Soap: A&E Barbiere Sofisticato
    PAA Galactic witch hazel
    PAA unscented Star Jelly
    AS: A&E Barbiere Sofisticato

    Good morning!

    Wonderful shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Just the lightest tickle from the alum.

    Yes, another new razor. Paradigm Diamondback 2020. Beautifully mirror polished. Nice heft with good balance. Not the grippiest handle but I had no trouble hanging on to the razor. Some blade feel, not a lot. Very smooth razor with an easy to find and maintain angle.
    My picture doesn't do it justice.

    Have a great day![​IMG]
