    If I'm being completely honest I use a blade twice, so pretty much any blade is good. I have 100 of the Super-Max Platinum and they are worth the price. These are definitely worth it to.

    SOTD for January 8th..............

    Nivea Sensitive Shave Cream face lathered w/Duke 2 Best
    NDC Ball Tech w/7 o'clock Sharp Edge Blade
    Witch hazel, Nivea ASB finishing w/Aqua Velva Musk

    2 quick passes for a comfortable DFS! (This razor was a throw-in on an auction I won. A little beat up but mechanically sound. Very impressed with the shave)

    Troy, it's driving me nuts! I can go two days and I'm okay with it. The thought of going into the weekend is going to drive me batty!! I may need to pop a couple of Percocet. Thanks!

    Jeff,
    Before you write off Williams, look for a puck of the vintage. It's amazing.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-WILLIAMS-MUG-SHAVING-SOAP-/272098568019?hash=item3f5a56a753:g:~U0AAOSw5dNWjy1q
    $3.00 + $3.00 shipping
    Update: Ignore this. This is NOT the good Williams with Tallow as the first ingredient. Sorry. :scared003:
    The pucks with Tallow as the first ingredient are second to none, promise.

    This one is what you want. Clearly more expensive, but if you consider we spend comparable amounts on modern soaps.

    Tried Williams (new) twice with little luck. Ended up using it as a body soap in the shower. Lasted a full week and reminded me of the older Ivory bar soap smell.
