Very nice shave but this was not a continuation of magnificent. Seems the personna blade needs changing out but I expected more than 3 shaves from these blades. What are others experience with the Personna injector blades?

That's an interesting list @SpeedyPC . I haven't got most of those so it's hard for me to comment but I would question the placement of the Merkur 39C. I thought it would be closer to the Fatip Piccolo than you have it. I would've guessed it would've gone in between the Karve C & D plates somewhere?

You don't have to say good-bye to these fragrances forever, I can easily link you to the candle oil fragrances Shaver Heaven used in their products :)

I for one would be very interested in that. I'm a late comer to wet shaving and only got to try a few samples of Shaver Heaven products before they withdrew.

Are you also telling us you haven’t tried the A or the AA plate yet? If I recall correctly, you bought the entire lineup?

I had the A in OC form and it could definitely give a comfortable shave. Be interested to hear how an AA would go as I don’t know if anyone on here who has one other than your good self.
