Thanks to a recent blade swap I just finished a nice shave with my early model Gillette tech and an Asco blade. I lathered up with my usual CO Bigelow cream and a few drops of EVOO. The shave was quite nice, no real pulling felt, not a single weeper, my neck still feels a touch rough but my face is baby butt smoothe . I think the neck issue may have more to do with improper hydration than the blade though, I am going to shave with this blade until the edge notably goes dull.

I have been trying to find the perfect blade that for my beard will get me the best blend of longevity and smoothness. So far this has been the shark blades, but I am still looking!
