Lovely in a slant!

Yep! That's a four shave blade ... and that's coming from a three and done with very few exceptions kinda guy. Other folks might well get five, six or more.

I'm officially a convert. Tried Nacets ages ago and couldn't get on with them - guess they were a little too much blade for me at the time. Spied what was left of the tuck recently and thought I'd revisit, so glad I did as this blade has been a joy to use for each shave.

Yep it was Question Time, yep I fell asleep, yep I’ve just woken up (3.10am!), yep wide awake now (dum de dum…)
It must be Fiona Bruce’s voice or maybe just a panel of politicians, but I go out like a light. Anyways, earlier I had a cracking shave with the Proraso Red, R89 and a new Rainbow (seem to be ok for 3 outings). Face left feeling smooth and smelling nice!

Shave #3 for the Racer-SPC blade and probably the best so far, the blade has really settled down from the initial harshness. The Feather razor tames any blade and it actually seems to like this one (YMMV), i am really tempted to try the blade in another razor for shave #4.
Enjoy your day all.
