    Yeah, it's pretty amazing. People who are not into this would think we are nerds but the truth is, most razors have their own "personalities" if you will. :)

    That a GEM Art Deco can provide a dolphin smooth shave with ease but is exceedingly boring to shave with. :)

    That the mildest shave I've had yet came from a ball-end post-war Tech and a GSB.

    I need to ad more water to my soaps, but in a slower fashion so as not to drown the soap. Tough balance indeed.

    14 hours after I put a new Bic chrome platinum in my Merkur Futur, I still have a DFS.

    When they were still available at Wal*Mart, I used to use them for the first shave in any new razor I purchased, specifically because they were so, well, average. They are a very 'middle of the road' type blade. Average sharpness, average smoothness, average longevity, etc. It gave me a baseline/benchmark to compare shaves with.

    Nowadays, my go to blade is Astra SP's.

    I really enjoyed a pack of the ones I got from a PIF. Not sure if they were the German or British. They came in a black plastic tuck. The Indian Wilkies are my absolute worst blade.

    Shark blades are not my favorite. Ordered a sampler pack recently, and had read good things about Sharks (I got two different types, can't remember which one I used this morning). Not as sharp and smooth as the Astras I have been using for the past couple of weeks...

    That I love cold water shaves more and more. I kicked it up and soaked my brush in ice water, between pass rinses with ice water and final rinse with ice water....best shave EVER!

    I learned that Razorock's The Freedberg scent lingers much longer and much better than I remember. Oh, and it also pairs surprisingly well with Clubman Original.

    Absolutely! No self respecting cold water shaver should be without one! :D

    That iced water gives me an even better shave than cold water! :Animatedfrozensmily::Animatedfrozensmily::Animatedfrozensmily::Animatedfrozensmily:
