Wow what a difference a sharp blade makes!
I shaved with the Gillette Adjustable today and loved it. It was my very first DE shave. I'm still working on my honing skills so my Straights are not what you would consider "Shave Ready" but even then I get more comfortable shaves than with cartridge razors. This was totally different though. The blade just glided along with no effort or tugging, I can't wait to get my Straights that sharp.
I got a assortment pack and tried the Wilkinson Sward blade first because my last name is Wilkins. I figured hew knows maybe someone along the line dropped the son and I'm a distant relatives or something. Corny I know but thats the way my gears turn sometimes.
