The purple ones are those i mostly would recommend, just because the results and the feeling of the shave is much better in my point of view. They give a close and quite smooth shave, a very balanced shaving result in the end.
OK, I did manage to buy a 4" X 2" labeled purple La Lune from my guy in France and yes it is much less aggressive. Under magnification the sparkles are far less numerous and they appear to be smaller in size. How do you recommend using it? All my razors are hone sharp and I do not want to dull one to fool around although I did run one over for about 10 laps and I will try it later today. Any advice will be appreciated. Tx, Dan
