    I've also noticed that the blade seems to get smoother and still maintaining it's sharpness.

    it does seem a touch smoother than the first shave,i thought maybe the arko lather was a bit slicker,hard to compare this blade to others at present,spoiler feels similar.it just works well,no irritation or issues.fantastic blade.:)

    I'd trade a Slim for one mint P74 to try. Okay, maybe for two.

    good morning gents
    another fine fat work shave in the books
    personna 74 completed it's 9th outing just fine.
    a little warmth noted when the splash was applied.
    maybe me or a slight wearing of the blade,we'll see next shave​

    3 day beard

    P-74 [1]
    Clix EZ Flo
    Decent tallow bath soap, nylon brushed

    2 pass BBS. This was my first time ever with this blade (thanks to the generosity of @Jorvaljr) and so wanted to use it with my most reliable razor. Felt sharp but not outstandingly so, smooth but not Spoiler smooth, yet gives a nice, issue-free shave. Now to see how long it lasts...will number the edges to ensure even wear.
