As a newcomer to traditional shaving I started out with a sample pack from the store in which I bought my razor; it contained samples of Astra, Personna (Israeli Reds), Feather, and Merkur.
My favourites to date are the Israeli Reds, by an enormous margin. The last week of shaves have been so good I had to restrain myself from bragging to my friends about them. In contrast, the Feathers resulted in a bloodbath that would have made Quentin Tarantino sit up and take notes.
I have an assortment of samples blades that just arrived from Razorbladesclub on eBay, but they'll have to be spectacular in order to knock the Personas from the top perch.
To sum up today's SOTD:
- razor = Merkur 38C
- blade = Personna (Israeli Reds)
- soap = Tabac
- after shave = Truefitt & Hill 'Grafton'

Today is the last day for the Personna Israeli Reds before I move onto the Lab Blues. That realisation makes me rather sad, since the Reds have given me such terrific shaves. (My wife has noticed the BBS shaves of late.)

Today marks the second day of shaving with the Personna Lab Blue blades. This second shave, while definitely an improvement over the first, is still not the brag-about-it-to-your-friends experience that I get with the Israeli Red blades. I did get a closer shave today than yesterday, but at the cost of some sensitivity on my neck. Live and learn, I guess.

General / Feather Pro - first shave on this blade. So smooth, no nicks or cuts. Looking forward to the next 2 or 3 weeks with this one.
