Razor: Ikon B2 Slant
Blade: Polsilver
Soap: Phoenix & Beau Oberon
Brush: Mondial Silver Tip
I do not know what the problem was. 40 years ago I would have got two months out of a blade, shave every day and not even think about it. A bit of knowledge, spoilt rotten by choice and I'm concerned about getting 14 shaves out of a blade. Getting soft Errol. This time I used my favourite razor and I can now understand why it's my favourite. Confidence inspiring, takes any blade thrown at it and always performs well. Polsilver blade starting to loose the edge but gave a great close shave to the end.
If there is ever another challenge along similar lines I'm going to choose a razor I consider a dog, (razors I just don't get along with) and a non Russian blade but it will not come out of Korea.
Well done to all those who subjected themselves to the challenge.
