...and again. Back when I used DE all the time, I never used to get more than four shaves out of most blades (less with Feathers). I think my prep has improved since then; I think this blade will be fine at least for tomorrow.

New experience today. After taming the lather froth by modifying the bowl and reducing agitation causing micro bubbles.
The stout backbone and slightly scritchy Americana produced more micro bubbles than other brushes used this month.
Nothing plenty of whisking couldn't resolve
 
Early flight, no pic but great shave

Just conscious too that -

The G7 is a real lather monster - see here... great value for money. Lots and lots of backbone, partially perhaps because it's so dense. I don't think I've got much more to add to my little summary here. I think the face feel of the AP Shave Co G5A and particularly the G5C are softer and more natural (and much more expensive). But for sheer kick-ass brute lathering capacity, the G7 is fantastic.
