7AM blade, second go

Posted in Shaving at 7:49 am by LeisureGuy

I gave the 7AM blade another try today: new blade, put into my HD. The lather this time was excellent: QED’s Bathtub Gin shaving stick, and the Rooney Style 2 Finest whipped up the lather quickly.

No cuts, and the 7AM is serviceable enough. But for me, it doesn’t have the smooth cutting action of the blades I like better. I certainly could use it, but I do prefer other blades. Does this mean you shouldn’t try this one? No, certainly not. With blades, it’s very much a matter of YMMV, and some will find this their best blade. Again, if you haven’t already done so, get the large sampler packs.

Now to get cracking on the apartment. The Younger Daughter arrives this evening for a visit.

    Does the Style 2 only come in Small (22mm knot)? The other S1 + S3’s seem to come S,M, L.

    Just wondering as 22mm would be as big as I’d ever go knotwise, anyhoo.

    Style 2 comes in just that one size. Great little brush, IMHO.
