Cobra Classic - Final shave #5
Shave number five with the Cobra Classic and the same Feather Professional blade.
I think this is as far as I want to push this blade. The Alum block and aftershave gave me even more sting than yesterday. The shave itself was not too bad. The blade was still sharp, but ATG it was not as smooth as it was in the beginning. If this was one of my regular razors I'd probably change blades after three shaves.
As for the Cobra Classic - I like it. A lot.
Pros:
- It looks great
- Good grip
- Well balanced
- Nice finish
- Easy blade loading, once you know how
- Great blades
- Manoeuvrability
- Great smooth shaves
Cons:
To sum it up: this is a very impressive razor. I need to get some Feather Professional blades for my Schick injectors now to compare. To be honest, I can get similar shaves from my injectors with the right blade, so I'd hesitate to buy a Cobra Classic. Then again, I'd be more than happy to own one and if I did, it would be used a lot. As it stands, I'm sad to pass it on, but not heart broken.
The razor has been cleaned, disinfected and boxed up and I'll post it to
@rowlers tomorrow.
Thanks, Martin. What a spectacular pass around. Again.
