Wow. That blade is seriously sharp, makes a feather feel blunt. I didn't treat it with the respect it needs! (Thought it would be like a lab blue...)

BBS after 2 passes, burn and weepers on neck though. User error. The limes cream was lovely though, slick and moisturising.

ive got one of those blades kicking about somewhere, from a travel kit i bought ages ago, ill have to give it a whirl

All I'll say is 'be careful!' A seriously aggressive blade.
