After having time off camera to check the plate out against the other. It is NOT bent but it appears at least to me that the feather blades sit fine on it but the Pro Line seems to not sit the same so just won't use the Schick blades in it but defer to the Feathers.

Checking Classic Shave site shows that it's compatible with Kai and Feather blades with no mention of Schick.....
They aren't any longer are they?

It's more the holes on the Schick that overlap the slot is slightly off from what I could tell.
That makes sense. But I guess another strike against these heads on paper. Designed to not work with all blades. I still want the OREN

2020 Shave # 61 ( 479 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Schick Proline (1)
Brush: Wolf Whisker Black Wolf
Soap: Wholly Kaw King of Bourbon
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Small Batch Shave Tonic
Fragrance: Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense
Wanted a nice luxury shave and that's what was had. From the Wolf Whisker whipping up a creamy soft King of Bourbon lather, to the Blackland Vector and Proline blade swiping it off. The blade felt a little rough perhaps due to fiddling with trying to get it seated in the Hiram and failing but it still gave a glass finish irritation FREE shave. Winter Reserve Small Batch topped the Maravilla 70 and then icing on the cake was the Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense from @GlazedBoker Here's what the sellers say:
Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense by Prada Cologne. If you're looking for a scent that is that perfect marriage of luxury, power and subtle elegance, Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense may be just what you're looking for. Created in 2006 by fashion house Prada, this intoxicating men's fragrance mixes stimulating notes like patchouli, myrrh, bergamot and amber with the softer essence of vanilla. You end up with a scent that is delicious and invigorating without being overpowering, making it ideal for day or night.
My Layman's Take:
I get a heavenly Darker Amber with some light vanilla and citrus. This settles down to not a light fresh scent and not an overly dark scent, just a warm and comfortable scent with some power to it. For everyone that comes thru my path today.....................You're welcome in advance. Have a Stellar day Cadre !!!

2020 Shave # 62 ( 480 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Gillette Fatboy
Blade: PolSilver SI (?)
Brush: Cadre Member Brush, Cashmere
Soap: Tallow & Steel Maya
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Bootleggers Bay Rum
Fragrance: Tom Ford Noir Extreme
1st of a few that I pulled a sample from the sample pass box was one I've been curious about for awhile. Maya was the scent still readily available that was least "What in the world is that" and I wanted to try the soap base. Very good soap but not a scent for me. I am going to try Kyoto as this is the scent I would put on a to buy list but alas it isn't available. May try that tomorrow. Having 7 more samples to try means I should be able to mail this out next Friday. The Fatboy has sat and it was time to call it to the plate. It didn't disappoint as I got a stellar shave from setting 5. After some Maravilla 70 I splashed on some Bootleggers Bay Rum because................ it was on the shelf and I haven't killed the sample from KJ yet. It's nice but I much prefer my Anthony's which is from my brothers Barber up in PA. Some Tom Ford Noir Extreme not because I'll be around anyone today as I'm doing things at home, but I wanted to smell good and I CAN !! That's all Cadre, Have a Stupendous day !!!
