It had been a little while since I last reached for the Godrej, so I lathered up an almond-sized dollop in a bowl, taking extra time to get it thick enough since I was trying another new blade today. Lather was probably as good as I've ever gotten the Godrej, which probably contributed to the positive experience with the Perma-Sharp. These blades appear to have a good reputation over at B&B; I know this one certainly outperformed the Baili, but that's rather faint praise. Three passes, BBS results, some minor irritation by the corners of my mouth but no weepers or nicks.

I see what you did there, Bruce. Arko AND The Veg? I believe if I tried that here, CAL OSHA would cite me for violating some standard regarding exposure of toxic substances in a public workplace.
