I'm pretty sure the Futur just became my weapon of choice. It left the back of my head smoother than the Fatboy did. Though I did have time to go through my full routine today.

I have to rescind any previous endorsement I may have made for 7 O'clock shadow, today it gave me a terrible shave. Good thing I have more feather blades on the way and a stockpile of other blades.

Hi Nate: So... apparently you had some good shaves with the 7 oclock blades. Sometimes.... there will be a "dud" blade in a tuck of blades. I suspect that you had a "dud". Also... can you clarify which Gillette 7 o clock blade you used? Was it the 7 o clock Blacks, Yellows, Blues, Greens?

It was a 7 O'clock green, last one from a sample pack. It was clearly a dud so I put it in the coffin of dead soldiers (an empty eclipse gum container).

I feel your pain. Even if the blade has a good track record with you, when you get a dud, you're sometimes gun-shy (blade-shy?).

Razor: Gillette Red Tip
Blade: Voskhod
Brush: Simply Beautiful Basic Badger
Cream: The Real Shaving Company Shave Cream
After: Maca Root Razor Relief
Pinaud Clubman Aftershave
This was my first shave with the Gillette Red Tip. I got one little gash on the top of my head. I couldn't figure out at first why the shave was starting to deteriorate. Then I got the cut and realized that the butterfly mechanism had opened a bit. Once I tightened it up, it was smooth sailing.
It was, in the end, a very nice, close shave. I usually shave at night, so I sleep through my most smooth hours. Recently I read Razor's comment about feeling smooth for most of the day and so I am hoping to get that experience, but I doubt I will. That sandpaper-y feeling almost starts for me the minute I leave the bathroom! We shall see ...

Mel, I cleaned up the Red Tip this morning, but it really was in great condition to begin with.

I shaved with my EJ today and started with a Derby which was on its 2nd shave. Didn't cut very good after a couple of attempts so put a 'feather' in!!!!!!
Much better! Cut quite good. No cuts or irritation. This is my 2nd outing with a feather as i first tried one when i started DE shaving and got cuts and loads of irritation. Learned a lot since then!
So, will try 2nd shave with the Feather on monday.
Surprised the Derby was poor on shave no:2 as i though it would have lasted longer than that.
