Add me to the list of those who think this blade is correctly named. By that I mean they feel just like getting clawed in the face by a tiger.
I've irritated and cut myself worse than any other DE blade, and only my worst multi-blade shaves have compared. This is the first blade where I won't use the remaining blades (or even a second shave with the one I tried). I've only tried 5 blades, so take that for what it's worth.
I've used the tiger, and it may have just saved me from shelfing my merkur HD.
I've yet to nick myself, or get any irritation from any of the shaves. I think I may have to buy some more of these. Along with some more cream and some skinfood. >_<

This is good to know since I have two more cans of Old Spice sensitive to use up, and my first several months of DE shaving last year were spent using it exclusively.
The Body Shop Sandalwood does seem to have better beard softening qualities, but the aloe and lanolin the the Old Spice help my skin too.
Can get a good shave with either as long as I work on my technique.
Looks like I've stumbled upon the beginnings of the blade review annals on SMF. Interesting read.
these blades are quickly becoming my favourites and I find myself reaching for them far more than any others I currently stock ,I've had nothing but clean and smooth irritation free shaves with them no matter which soap I use.
