\nThis is my least favorite of the three I have. The bump out is in the wrong spot for where I naturally want to hold it. Not a biggie to adjust, but would choose either of the other if I could only have one.

This blade is not for me. To give it credit, the dolphins are singing but my face is saying it's a little too much. This was definitely not a pressure issue this time. I wasn't even letting the weight of the razor do the work this ti
me. No clean up strokes or searching for the wet BBS this time. Again, I've had rougher shaves, but there was a decent amount of alum sting. And my face is feeling freshly exfoliated and won't tolerate using the Pro again tomorrow. I'll give it a shot with the SS, but this is not the razor and blade combo for me.
This was also my first use of Oleo soap. Knowing they made the A&E soaps, or at least some of them previously I was not surprised that it had great performance. Lathered nicely into a nice rich lather. Heck, I couldn't even see my face through it. Cushion was top notch and residual slickness just short of the best of elite with some nice post shave feel that felt hydrating. The scent I'll have to spend some time with. The description is that it's a fall scent. I don't get that at all. I get citrus with a floral note that comes and goes. So more of a spring/summer thing. I like the citrus note heavy on the grapefruit. Floral I don't care for that much, but it's not always present. That's why I'll have to give it a few more tries to see what I think. Scent strength is good at 3.5-4/5. So far so good with the Oleo blind buy.

I think that's the opposite from the direction that I need to go.
Oh those sound pleasant. Are they coated with rubber instead of Teflon?
