Ultra smooth and insanely sharp are the exact qualities I love!Beginning to think all of you wonderful gentlemen should try an in production blade like the Treet Platinum.
Ultra smooth and insanely sharp!
Keep your now out of production Russian PPI blades for special occasions… and no, a shower is not special unless you are heading out for a night on the town!

| A fine combination tonight. The CSS lather feels thicker and heavier than MdC. I may need less product and more water before it’s really gliding along. But I can tell it’ll get there. |
You are enabler! Your reports are tempting me to just buy these blades!Another mind blowing Head Shave with the Henson AL13 Mild with the Treet Platinum (2)!
Treet Platinum are pretty good blades, but they lost out to the Treet 7 Days Platinum and the Treet Dura Sharp in my den. The main reason for this is because the Treet Platinum don't work well in all my razors. All YMMV, of course.You are enabler! Your reports are tempting me to just buy these blades!
Thank you Eric. I foresee all three in my den at some point.Treet Platinum are pretty good blades, but they lost out to the Treet 7 Days Platinum and the Treet Dura Sharp in my den. The main reason for this is because the Treet Platinum don't work well in all my razors. All YMMV, of course.
I recommend you try them.

was a RazoRock Superslant L2OC (L2++!@#$%&OC in their catalogue), Russian Astra SP, Omega 10005 boar, and Old Hippie's Peppermint Trip Groovy Shave Soap.
At least it's not a Derby Extra, a Laser Ultra or a Silvermax.

| The Henson continues to perform admirably, as does the Perma-Sharp. I've dialed in the CSS lather, now, and it makes for very smooth sailing. Taking some marks off, here, for one key annoyance with the Henson: I've got a mole on the side of my head, and no matter what I do (angle, touch, approach) it seems the Henson either can't shave over it at all, or cuts it up. Feels like I'm heading for mole removal by a thousand cuts. Seems to be something in the design of the Henson, as I don't have the same problem with my other razors (e.g., EJ DE89). |
