25th January 2014
Not sure the age of this razor but since it says West Germany its got to be between 1949 & 1990, its my only stainless steel and doesn't hold as good an edge as my carbons but still gives a good shave.

After MMCP yesterday,finally tried MMOC. Got a good lather,and shaved comfortably
with good finish.Found it better than Both MMCP & MMFW. For me up there with the
!924 [ more agressive ] & Streamline. The latter is loaded to go Tomorrow.

Now need to get MMOC of my own, this one kindly lent by Dick, who also sent me
different blades to try out.

Trouble-free, damn fine shave! First time I use a racer blade, not bad at all.

First time with a Feather Super blade. Blimey! That thing is SHARP! Sliced off a corner of my lip and got half-dozen weepers when it took off the top layer of skin with the stubble (hence the prolonged 'post-shave' routine). BBS in the end but it sure was a scary shave.

Sounds similar to my shave yesterday! Hence why today I toned it down with a Kai Mild this morning.

Not been a fan of Kai Milds in the Cobra but had a really good shave this morning (despite having very little stubble to remove...) Used with CRSW Sandalwood and a nice soft EJ XL synthetic for a great shave.
