Feather AC with a Schick ProLine. Based on the raves here I bought a few from Try a Blade, a great vendor, by the way.

The raves are based on using the blade in a Hawk or Mongoose-style razor, I think, but I wanted to try it in my Feather AC.

First impressions: a smooth, forgiving blade. By forgiving I mean it's more forgiving than a Feather Pro, which never forgave anyone anything, but of course far less forgiving than a blade with a guard. For me it's on par with Kai Captain (blue) blades.

Sorry to be boring but the same Feather AC but this time with the KAI MG (proguard). Got a great three pass shave with touch ups. Can't stop touching my face!

Am probably going to pull the trigger on a new or vintage straight soon so I might be able to mix it up here on shave of the day. If I go vintage, BadDad is getting a pm from me to see what he's willing to part with

This morning, I took out the George Wostenholm IXL Celebrated 6/8 extra hollow. I love this big chopper. She was refreshed last week on the coticule, but today was the first shave with her since. I am starting to see why people enjoy the coticule edge so much. Extremely soft, but still an exceptionally close shave. The blade is surprisingly keen, considering how soft and gentle it feels on the skin...
