Result: 4.6/5.0 Superlather Day! Took two "different" scents and put them together to make a nice combo. Talk about thick and rich and everything. This was like day 9 on the Feather ACD-N and it went right through everything. I'm lucky if I can get 3 days on a DE. But that superlather just made it better. I won't switch over to the unguarded blades until I use up the guarded ones first. I kep one in reserve in case. Using the ACD-N has me hunting for a wedge or 1/4 hollow even more. Full hollow ground STR8 blades are tough on me until I get better with them.
