Tuesday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/7 AM day 4 Brut SC Keri unscented moisturizer Brut AS Brut Cologne My first shave this morning with the Brut cream which arrived yesterday, and it was a good one.

The lime text is tough to read... 10 shaves from a Rapira is impressive. What is the most you have been able to manage with the blade.

Thanks! I may change the lime text! This is my 1st experinence with these blades. I've been an injector dude for a while now. Thought I would try them out. Read alot about them. I am amazed myself! I really love these blades. Mind you , I like mild blades & razors! But 2 passes with these and their longevity, makes my Red Pack Personnas & Schick Twin Injectors blades look outdone!
