I think I last used the PAL in September and I no longer remember what blade is in it or how many times it's been used.  Probably a vintage Schick with two or three shaves on it.  It was still sharp and smooth today anyway.  Two passes left me with a DFS not as good as my normal one.  I was sloppy and later noticed I missed a couple spots.  Alum was silent, however, so I didn't mess up on technique at least.
The Soapy Bathman set provided a good shave performance and great postshave skin conditioning.   This balm has menthol in it but is not as strong as the Osage Rub for example.  Just a pleasant cool down for a quarter hour or so after use.  I might consider buying these products again in future - if they're still available a decade from now when these ones get used up...
Edit: I just went and looked up my September shaves.  Today's blade was a vintage Schick Super Chromium ... and this was shave number 
fourteen on it.   Perhaps I didn't miss those spots but the blade just didn't cut them?  Anyway, I think the next time I use the PAL it should have a new blade in it...
