Top notch Ed!

How far do you think the first AC blade will last? Gonna do anything special to try and keep it holding on longer?
 
A lovely Sunday shave and the last before “one blade February” gets underway. Hoping everyone is safe and sound and enjoying the weekend.

First shave of One Blade Feb down range. Lovely and smooth as can be! Though this is the second use of this blade for me. The General is quite a good razor and this should be a pretty good month.

Very nice Ed. Curious to see how far the Proline goes! I went about 15 on my last one in a Vector.
 
The ProLines are the only AC blades I use in the Vector. Tried about a half dozen others in a sampler and Schick really stood out in smoothness and performance.
 
Was starting get a bit fuzzy so today’s shave was very much needed. Fourth use of the ProLine and it’s still expectedly sharp and smooth. Happy Monday!
