I used the Derby blade again today...the shave itself was ok+ but the glide of the razor seemed "coarse" (best description I'm afraid). We carry on.

[MrK1]

I wanted a nice quick faff free shave tonight.

Pre: Proraso pre\post
Razor: Feather ASD2
Blade: Polsilver SI
Brush: NF 2204
Soap: Wickham Dandyism
AS: OS Lime.

Expecting a smooth first pass, and as I was using the ASD2, I started to shave a bit quicker and and a bit more recklessly as I normally do with this razor. Imagine my surprise when I felt it biting into my neck and giving a few weepers. A quick rinse after the first pass and my neck felt very sore. Must be a duff blade I thought.
It wasn't.

I keep all my razor heads in a little compartmented box and use my favourite handle - the original Ikon OSS one - with whichever head I fancy. Tonight, instead picking up the ASD2 head, I accidently loaded the Ikon SB head. The opposite end of the scale when it comes to aggressiveness.

Oh well, live and learn.
