3/16/16 - SOTD


This morning's shave was very nice.  The soap was good, the blade was smooth and the razor provided an error free 2 pass shave.

Shave Of The Day - March 14, 2016

Derby Extra blade (2)

Derby Extra blades are almost universally panned as a mediocre to bad blade.  I decided to try out a pack that I have and see how they perform in the Blackbird razor.  This Pakistan made blade has a reputation for being rough and dull.   I found the opposite to be true in this razor.  Smooth and effective.  I will see how long it lasts.  I hope to get at least a week's worth of shaves from the blade.
