Good shave today. Feeling a bit better and the weathers pretty reasonable. These blades are treating me very well. This scent is always top notch.

Good shave. Lots of snow to shovel today. These blades seem to be good I’ve had a number of good shaves with them in the past and today is no different.

Ok shave. Only a single pass nothing going on type shave. This soap is not a performer but I keep trying to wear it down a bit now and then.

Great shave. Very comfortable shave from this razor even though the blades on its last run. This brush is still a big thirsty hog of a unit.

I have only really had one tuck of astra greens and they were good. Your experience sounds very close to mine with personna platinums. I had a couple good tucks then I bought a bunch and they sucked for the most part almost unusable. I’ll likely keep buying 10-20 blades at a time at least I don’t feel bad throwing away one tuck thats not working out.
