I switched out to a 7am blade and shaved last night, using my new Sandalwood Taylor of old bond street. It does have a nice sandlewood sent. The shave was ok, but it could have been better. I was doing it blind, as I had left my mirror at home, so I don’t know how fair this is to judge the blade.

Last week I switched to a dorco blade. It was very sharp on the first use, but I knicked myself twice. They were a bit worse then my normal cuts too. I got 3 uses out of it.

I changed my razor again today.  I switched from the 7am back to a Wilkinson.  I didn’t cut myself at all, and it seems really smooth and close.

I switched out my Sharp Stainless to a 7am Platinum High Stainless.  It seemed like it was a bit less sharp then the sharp was.  It hung up a bit in my stubble, more than I’d like.  I didn’t cut myself much at all, at least.  I’ll see how it is after another shave or so.

I need to stay on top of there more.  I switched out my Astra several shaves back.  It seems like I nicked myself more often with it.  I am currently using a Sharp Stainless blade.  This one seems pretty smooth, if not necessarily as close as I would like.  I need to update these more frequently, maybe as often as I shave.

New blade in my DE Razor today.  I popped in a Dorco Platinum ST-301.   First opinion, it seems to catch in my mustache more than the Wilkson Sword it replaced.  I did my normal two lathers.  I only cut myself once.  It seems to shave pretty well.  I wonder how much is it being a new blade, and how much is me taking my time.  I’ll update this as the blade wears.
