I got my blade pack, with a total of 108 blades, and 18 different brands of blades, I am beginning what may be the first actual attempt to determine just how much a blade changes between razors.
My razors are going to be the following,
1. 1953 Korean war non brass 3 piece tech
2. 1940/1941 winged "ranger tech head" super speed
3. winged aristocrat junior super speed
4. 1940/1941 regent/aristocrat aka "1946/1947 aristocrat"
rarely use this one, as blades don't seem to last long in it, and a good blade for it would make it far more enjoyable.
5. fat boy
cant remember using it since around Halloween. Really should get it back into action. Really makes Wilkinson swords PERFORM.
6. ww2 contract tech
haven't used it much, loves platinum plus and Wilkinson sword Germany
I tried Derby Extra this morning, it was odd as can be.
I used my Korean war 3 piece tech, and proraso Red.
The red lathered well, but in the end provided very little protection. And I swear half the irritation post shave came from simply rinsing the stuff off my face.
The other half undoubtedly shaving with a new blade, in a razor I haven't used in perhaps a month.
I had a lot of lather, did three passes, and rinsed enough lather from my brush for another pass.
6 hours after shaving, I felt I needed another shave.
Whereas a 1 pass shave and some buffing, would have had me good for 10 hours with a platinum plus.
