It's that time of year. Time for the world famous "One Blade in February" Challenge!!!
Last year we had 6 or 7 participants. This year I expect more since 5 of you bought Personna 74 blades from me and promised to participate.
Here are the "rules":
1. Use one blade for the entire month of February
2. Push your blade as far as it can go
3. Have fun!
4. There are no rules! (see Rule 3)
This isn't a "contest," so if you want to use some magic gizmo to extend the life of your blade, feel free. Pyramid power is acceptable. I will be cleaning my blade with water each day, then swishing in a jar of rubbing alcohol. Some may hand strop it. Just share your method, shaving hardware and software, and have fun!
I posted early for those of you who have mortal blades and want to see how far your Feather, Derby, Red IP, etc will go before we start.
At least 7 or 8 of us will be using the greatest blade ever, the Personna 74. I got my stash last year when they were still affordable. A lot of 72 just sold on ebay for $280+, so it is unlikely that you'll find any at a reasonable price before Feb 1 if you don't have them already. That's ok! Use whatever you have, and see how far it will go. Maybe there is another long lasting blade that is close to the Personna 74's longevity. If you know of one, share it.
