You're all huns.
However that is now how I am choosing to imagine Pjotr looks.
And I am feeling disturbed.

Time to steer this thread back on track methinks........
I always knew you had class mr626. And, using the ultimate blade too!
...........I guess its on to the longevity test now
Shave 1 (with the combo in the photo- Rocket HD, TOBS etc).
Was a little bit tricky getting the blade out of the holder, but I managed it eventually. As has already been mentioned, I suspect it must just be that due to the age of the blades any coating/lubrication that was applied to them originally has lessened somewhat.
The shave itself was both unremarkable and great at the same time. I'll explain:
The Rocket HD gives me a great shave- always has. Every blade that I've tried in this thing have been great. The Schick is no exception, but it didn't really have any qualities that jumped out at me compared to my main regular blades (Feather, Astra).
BUT, post shave I could really tell that these blades are quality. Very, very smooth skin- almost as if I had gone ATG in some places (which I don't).
So, the one shave summary for me is that they are a quiet performer- they give a great shave without seeming to do so.
Once again, thanks for Mark for sourcing these for me (and many others) to try.

..........As far as the blade is concerned, it's not that sharp in my view.........
I've noticed it seems to have lost a little of its sharpness, but I guess that's to be expected.
How is it travelling now? I don't find them 'Ultra Sharp' either, certainly not in the Spoiler/Gillette Plus Platinum range. They do lose a bit in the first 2 shaves, and then they hold their sharpness over the next 4-5 shaves. Then they gently roll off the sharpness and as long as you are careful then you can get a few more out of them.
