I still can’t believe you used an Assured blade in your Aristocrat
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. It's a type of sacrilege to defile that razor with such a "satanic" blade! Bad things are afoot because Bruce has done something as unholy as this!
Might not science require using a known good blade in the assured, or did you do that and I forgot ?
In my mind, the Assured blade, when held firmly by expertly engineered and manufactured razors, proved itself adequate, though below my sharpness threshold. It's just an OK, below average blade, making the Assured razor the true villain here.
If the Assured razor is the villain, and you rate it higher than the Fatboy and the Aristocrat, then what does that make those razors???
Soap and AS courtesy of Dave, of the nursing persuasion. Great stuff, thanks Dave!
I hope you put on some Floyd during the shave Bruce!
Now that's a cool clip.
This was a great shave. My last puck of QCS - love the scent, and this hard puck lathers easily and very well. Rich, thick lather. First SE shave ever, and it was as advertised: quickly found the angle, and the blade was smooth and sharp. The razor's design is perfect. Three passes, rinse, AS, and I'm good to go. Very efficient, satisfying shave.
I found it easy, though the blade gap gave me pause. As KJ said, it's so easy, it's almost like cheating. I thoroughly enjoyed the shave.
Recovery has slowed, but it's progressing. I fully expected this to happen. Walking to the parking garage elevator this morning with the cane, I thought back to 10 weeks ago when I had to use a wheelchair to get to the office. I'm satisfied with the improvement. It's simply going to take time, that's all.And who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks!
Hope recovery is still productive!
