I did shave with the blade one time. Good face prep, 2 days growth, C&S 88. All the time and attention I give for my normal DE shaves.
It was one of the roughest shaves I've had since trying a slant DE. I managed 3 passes, and missed some areas, which I expected. Had this been a normal DE shave for me I would have been swapping the blade before I finished one cheek.

I'll get a PM off to the local guys here in Portland. I'm sure if time allows they'll get me on the straight & narrow.

I had the 39c and gave it a really fair shot. Four or five different blades and some of the best soaps available.

It worked out fine, I sold it and moved on to the R41 & Cobra Classic where I received fantastic results.
