    Yes. I got distracted by something else and forgot to post that. Thanks!

    In fact that is the end of that blade. The Slim was cranked to 7 and the blade still gave a good shave, but as Jim Reeves sang ...


    ​
    ... it will have to go!​

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    6 days a blade would take it 60 days. Not bad at all.

    Now usually I can coax out an extra shave or two with a Slim via adustment. Since I will be rotating a few razors in it will be interesting to see the variations at it progresses.

    I am going to venture that with razor rotation, this test goes 57 days.
