Some of you may have read that I bought this razor off ebay a week or so ago for £15 including delivery. The price now is £20 plus £3 delivery (UK).
Nice weight and balance to this razor. Head feels medium-aggressive. Thought the Bleue Extra would give me the best chance of rating the performance. Got through the stubble on the checks no problem; some stubble remaining on the neck where I have to go against the grain but a respectable DFS. Good start but a bit early to tell. Seems to favour a shallow angle, I think, but really need to do a few more shaves to be certain.
There are some gold-coloured patches and some minor scratching to the head. The thread screws into my aluminium Tech and my New perfectly. I find the handle a little slippery towards the bottom (but not overly), but then I find the Progress and Edwin Jaggers a bit slippery too and most people seem not to.
I'll update this thread as I get more use out of it.
Excuse the phone pics but I can't get it to focus (even manually) on anything nearer than about a hundred feet away! Note also that I gave it a quick wipe after the shave but there could be the odd smear or thin film of TOBS Shaving Shop cream and hard water.
