    Pic still looks good to me, Blair. Sounds like a great razor.
    I found Barbershop a little powdery, but SWMBO liked it.

    Full disclosure, Charlie... My wife is 42. The difference in our age is reflected in the fact that she grew up only in the Metric system, doesn't really need Imperial for much apparently, and I don't think she fully grasped what 1/8 of an inch actually meant until the first 'touch down' with the Wahl razor. She didn't mean to go that short, but I'm fine with it. I have no problem acknowledging my fast approaching horseshoe...

    Love the bronze colours, Gary. Very cool razor and the rfb's all sound like awesome shavers. Have a good day, sir.

    Thank you, Gentlemen. Maybe I'll try the blade in a more aggressive razor tomorrow. Just for Scientific purposes.:happy088:

    I don't recall having any issues with the Super Thins.
    I can only think of a few blades that stand out in a bad way for me but others love those same blades.

    I've been keeping up the use of the straight for my shaves, with the exception of today's shave. I wondered what my DE shaves would be like having spent the last two weeks with a straight.
    So... In the name of science, I loaded my R41 (straight on a stick) with a Bic blade.
    The result? A 2 pass near BBS. What the holy hell? I've never got BBS on my cheeks with a WTG/XTG shave.
    Now I'm not sure what I can attribute this to, but it was one heck of a shave.
    The R41 is officially a pussy cat by the way.
    Stay safe and enjoy your shaves gentlemen!

    Mine have the following markings on the blade, not sure if yours are the same:

    Great shave, James!
    How's young Rowan coming along with his football?
    I'll have to look. I've only used the one blade from a tuck gifted to me by Andrew @Linuxguile.

    Great shave James. When you use straight shave stretching for a DE shave, then it stands to reason that your DE shave dramatically improves.
