Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Current Blade under review: 4th Shark Super Stainless
Shave #2 with 4th Shark Super Stainless blade. A nice shave. Solid BBS results. Very close, comfortable, no nicks, weepers, irritation or razor burn.
Pass 1: WTG on my face (N/S), and XTG on my neck (N/S). Pass 2: ATG. I almost had a DFS at that point. Not nearly as close as the last few days with the Silver Blue. There were more spots left that needed attention than I've seen lately.
I lathered up and chased the baby for a while, then called it good. A nice result, but with a little more work than I spent with the Silver Blue. The Aqua Velva burned a little bit more today, but things settled down quickly. That is when the baby came out. He stuck around for almost 2 hours, then snuck away quietly.
I'm looking forward to going back to the Gillette Silver Blue on Saturday. I expect that will confirm that I like it better than the Shark. After the Silver Blue, I’m considering whether or not I should go back to the Astra Superior Platinum to see where it might fit in, or move on to a new blade. Not sure at this point.
In addition to the PolSilver Super Iridium and Feather from my original sampler, these came yesterday:

Now I have a few more choices to make.
