Sunday morning all and hello everyone!
Hope your day goes well!!!
Installed a Gillette Silver Blue blade in the Monobit and went to work. These blades cost me about 15% more than a Feather blade, so you'd think they are at least as good, right? Well on the first pass I was not disappointed. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being a Feather, I'd give them a 9.5. No tugging, the blade more or less just wiped off the lather taking the fur with it. A slight resistances, but all in all a 2 pass shave with a 3rd witch hazel touch up pass. I'm pleased with this shave, feels good, a blade I like. The old gord came almost as clean, 2 passes with a 3rd witch hazel touch up pass. Still could use a 2cd blade for a bowling ball smooth shave, but not bad for a blade that was already used once on the mug.
These cost me more than the feathers but it's nice that I have a blade that can do a nice job if I need to switch.

Everthing else worked as expected.
Think I'll give these blades another try!
Hoping today will be a quiet one, but the wife and daughter are on the phone planning the day, I fear. Well....
I'm clean and smooth for whatever scheme they come up with!
Everyone
Enjoy!
