Blutt 1.2 Review - Revealing Comfort

[LRod]

With the Blackbird Lite, I prefer the Lab Blues, but for the OG Blackbird, the Wizamet is best so far.

Tried a Wizamet tonight with the Blackbird. I tried it on my satin stainless BB with the SB base plate.
A wonderful blade for this razor!
It felt very comfortable, not overly sharp and just a pleasure to use.
If memory serves, I think this is the first time I ever use a Wizamet blade. I got one here on B&B from "The great blade exchange" thread and had never touched it.
A no drama shave that was very smooth
and efficient. A great match! A+

Glad you like it! That combo is one that works well for a bunch of us, I think.

Not that I need another blade but I guess I'll be trying them out in other razors!

For me, whenever I’m experiencing heavy irritation I always downshift to a Wizamet. Really smooth and comfortable blade. And strangely, sometimes efficiency will actually go up because I’m able to buff more.

I agree. There are a lot of sharp and medium sharp blades I like to use, but there are only two mild blades that sing to me, Wizamet and Rapira Platinum Luxe. Of those two, Wizamets take first and second place.

Wizamets used to be my main blade.... I haven't used one for a while. Back then, I always used one for a first shave with any razor I bought...I have since moved on to mostly Perma-Sharps with a few others thrown in for fun... but I should revisit the Wizamets...I only have a few hundred of them, but as I remember, they were always sharp enough and very smooth.

I have my two Frankenrazors (R41 and Mellon Zamak combinations) loaded up with Perma-Sharps for my next shave... when I recover enough from this bug to feel like shaving... I wonder if Wizamets would have been a better choice.

Another shave tonight with the Blutt!
This time I used a Feather blade and it's the best shave I've had with the Blutt.
It came out of the "acceptable" rating to "excellent" (at least for this shave).
The Kai blade gave it some great energy but the Feather gave it the mega sharpness to smoothly get
past the "roughness" patch that I have been experiencing on the first passes.
It was incredibly smooth on both passes and amazingly no post shave harshness which has happened
to me many times with Feathers. I guess as of now, this is the blade that'll work for me with the Blutt.
Luckily I have dozens of Feather tucks in my razor stock!
I'll still be trying other blades though to see if anything else works.
A couple of good (smooth & efficient) shaves so far that have brought the excitement back with the Blutt!
Kai: B-
Feather: A+

Maybe I should try this. So far the Blutt has been a stinker for me.

Try it to see!
I used a Feather and angle wise, followed exactly the angle designed into the head.
Kept my skin evenly in between the top cap & base plate and I got great results!
None of the: shave steep, shave shallow etc..
Just wherever it was that my skin stayed equal between the two parts!
It got me out of the (meh) mode with the razor and now I look forward to using it.
