    I couldnt wait to get into the box and although it did prove to be a formidable opponent it eventually gave up the goods

    And the bounty was worth the struggle to get into it, And a surprise to boot Ive never heard of two of these blades and I do like my feathers but will have to use one of either the ASCO or the LADAS nanac blades for tonights shave,
    JTB if you have tried both any opinion or input on these and what you think i would love to hear.

    For now i would like to do a test run with the AOS cream, I was looking forward to the EJ stuff but there is only a single use so i will wait to an actual shave for that one

    The lather on this stuff was just as good as i have read on the forums its dense with its cushion I find it slick in texture next time I'm headed into Toronto I will have to pick a tub up

    Thank You so much for your time and effort JTB it was fun winning my first PIF and it was great to see the goods inside, enough for more then a few great shaves. I hope it was as fun for you as it was for me

    And a poll to what scent you think i should try for AOS first,... its just for fun as everyone has a different favorite I'm sure

    It was my pleasure to get that north to you.
    The ladas blades are very smooth, I think they are coated. But I really only get 2 or 3 shaves from them. The asco blades are good for about 4 shaves, I found them sharp enough and pretty forgiving.

    Enjoy,

    I tried the ladas last night they werent bad, not sure if im just getting so used to the astra olive packs or what cause i have been using them for about 6 weeks straight now but i found the ladas blades to be a bit to smooth after three passes for my still growing technique lol after three passes i had a little to much growth, just when i thought i had things down but i had no irritation from them at all
