Gillette 7 o'clock Black blade evaluation-----second shave.
Began with a face washing with West Indian Lime Gel, followed with pre shave oil. Brush soaked five minutes, meanwhile allowing the oil to work on my face and whipping up a lather. Triple pass, with, across and against. Blade Glide Plus between passes. I have found it to be important to ensure you stretch the skin you are shaving and utilize little to no extra pressure on the razor. The 7 o'clock black is extremely sharp. Cool water splash and Alum stone treatment, allowing the alum to dry. Another cold rinse and application of West Indian Lime lotion and cologne.
This is number two shave on this blade, and if possible, it is sharper than the first.
As far as comfort goes, as long as a proper blade angle is held, it is a very comfortable shave.
Use of the razor while improperly held, razor can and will result in injury.
