Supermax Blue Diamond - WOW

WOW - as in, wow I didn't know any blade could be this terrible!

I unwrapped the blade for the first time and loaded it into my trusty Pre-War Tech, then let it sit in hot water while I slathered on one of my favorite Stirling soaps (Pharaoh's Dreamsicle) with my Stirling Kong Synthetic. I was anxious to try this blade as the packaging looks so cool, and it's from India; haven't tried a blade from India yet.

I went to take the first stroke and...ow ow. I remember that feeling. How do I remember it though? Took another stroke... OW! Pulling and tugging! Just like with my old (dull) cartridges! I immediately removed the blade and replaced it with a Gillette Yellow. Ahhhhhhhh. Now THAT's a shave. (YMMV)

Does that mean I have thick stubble? I always just assumed it was about average, but if this blade doesn't even cut without tugging on a brand new edge, it makes me wonder.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
