Thought I would post a quick update on my recent progress, I have found a blade that seems to work consistently in this razor, and it is a .......................... Derby. Now the Derby blade is not one I have a lot of love for, but that said I have not used them for well over a year, since I was a noob.
I have got to a stage with this razor where I can now get BBS shaves and feel in control. This razor is aggressive, I have to concentrate on technique much more than any other razor I own, but this can be a rewarding process when I get it right.
