I'm about to leave on a 10 day trip and I'm going to test a "new to me" system.

Recently I picked up a C.J.B Blade Handle WH100B - The Korean version of the Feather RJ/DX style non folder. Separate review to follow...
Since I'm checking a bag I could do my normal routine mentioned above but I'm hopping that this will make it simpler.

A. CJB and a pack of Feather Pro Blades
B. Jagger DE and Blades (Astra Blue)
C. Cart in the Carry On just in case the bag goes sideways for a day.
D. The Wet Shaving travel Kit.
E. Trauma Kit (Neosporin, super glue, bandaids - cause you just never know...)

I've been avoiding the Feather DX/RG/SS because of the Feather Slasher stories...but that has not stopped me from being drawn to the system like a moth to the flame...that and when you have RAD it is indiscriminate that way...although I have no urge to get a Frameback for some reason...

Then Bingo Bango Bongo I'm able to score a CJB - it's bargin price off-set by the eye watering shipping fees, but still a good deal, and I knew I could find them a new home in short order if it did not work. (it has worked out...three shaves in and its a keeper)

Why you say?

It's all about the KISS rule.

No spare Straights, 6 months worth of blades take up about as much room as your thumb.
When you travel spare time is at a premium, this system does save time. No pre and post shave stropping, no strop to pack, the post shave razor care is about like taking care of your DE.

No, it is not the same as shaving with my W&B, King Cutter, Conqueror, Luna 5911, Chas Randall yada yada..
But you can get a DFS in 1.5 passes (YMMV). One careful pass and I'm already ahead of my best Cartridge performance...and what it does to that PITA spot to the left of my Adams Apple is nothing short of amazing...

So I've committed to using nothing else for the week before I leave to get some practice in.

I'll try to report in mid trip...

And if you have any recommendations for Montreal let me know...
