The 15th Annual One Blade in February Challenge

Gillette Super Stainless The Spoiler F4 Unsure of the date 1985 maybe made in the USA (7). I don’t shave often.

Spoiler is a blade I'd love to try

I bought several 15 packs from a member here on the BST along with a few other vintage blades. They are one of my favorite blades.

Shave#101 of 366 remaining 265(100%)

Razor: Muhle R41
Blade: Personna 74(70)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band
Soap: TFS Rasozero Barbaccio
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

OK another 3017 shave, but the important thing about this shave was that it was my 70th with the P74 blade, that's a whole 10 weeks with one blade. It wasn't the closest shave I've had with this blade, my neck felt a little rough to be honest, but I will not take that as a reason to bin it just yet. I will give it a couple more chances before I commit it to the blade bank.

Hi,

P74s go on and on and on. And now we know why they don't make them any more.....

SV Saturday

Razor: Muhle R41
Blade: Personna 74(73)
Brush: Yaqi Evil Zebra
Soap: SV Desert Vetiver
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight for SV Saturday I decided on Desert Vetiver lathered with the Evil Zebra for that fresh scent. I also loaded the P74 into the R41 to see if a good soap would make a difference to the performance tonight. The shave was fine, but even though it was better than the last couple of shaves the finish on my neck was still not as good as it should be. At 73 shaves I think this blade has earned a rest in the blade bank and I will be so sorry to see it go and I'm kind of at a loss now that I'll have to use another blade.
