The 2nd blade from my sample pack and after 5 shaves, here are my thoughts.
I used my ball end, Gillette Tech razor and Arko soap, except for the final shave, where I used Simpson's Sandalwood shaving cream. Each shave was WTG, ATG, possibly a 3rd pass addressing and spots I'd missed.
Expecting a more aggressive shave than the Big Ben blades, I started off carefully with each 1st pass, but noticed that although seemingly sharper, it was rough and seemed to not be as efficient as it felt it should be.. Things only got worse going ATG, with the razor feeling very rough and drawing blood at the drop of a hat. I really don't understand how something that feels so aggressive can be so inefficient. The are good at removing skin and blood, but not so good with facial hair.
These will not be on my future shopping list and I really don't know if I'll finish the pack. Definitely not for me.
