Just tried this blade combo this morning with my Muhle Rocca R96. Really nice feedback, first pass was great with a second almost finishing the job unless you like baby butt smooth... which... well you got to go baby butt smooth. No rash, great feedback from the alum block with very little sting. So far my favourite from the mix pack with the Derby Premium coming in second.

Wow slants are a different game. I haven’t tore up my neck like this since cartridges! In hindsight a feather blade may have been too aggressive.

Woke up feeling spice-y and channeled my inner Kwisatz Haderach to walk the golden path today!!
If you thought the crypto rabbit hole was deep, wait until you discover wet shaving!!

I maintain a full beard, but there’s nothing like a relaxing neck and cheek shave to set the tone for the day. It really makes the beard pop and the manly wafts through the day make you feel like 10,000,000 $Degen!!

Thinking to treat myself to a new DE razor and brush. I live the look of the Muhle Roca R94. Discovered tradicional wet shaving a few months back and ner looked.. well, back. I'm getting a nice shave with my Gillette King C but looking to get something better.
