The Bolzano blade experiment continues. Yesterday I used an Egypt blade, and today a Germany blade. Tomorrow I'll do a side by side comparison, but I wanted to get a shave on each of them before comparing since I know at least the German version changes after the first shave.
I want to say the Germany blade felt slightly less sharp, but just as smooth as the Egypt version yesterday. Either they have slightly different bezels, or it's just a difference in coatings.
Both yesterday and today were really excellent shaves, and I'm looking forward to using them both tomorrow. I just have to pick a razor to use them in. Either keep them in the Era, or use a Tech? I think a Tech is better suited for switching blades multiple times mid-shave.
You need a pair of matched DE razors for these comparison series!
Yes, I'm considering using my Slim Adjustable and Black Beauty, but I probably won't because maybe they're slightly different.
Another option is the Baili BR171. I have 2 of those now after snagging one for $1.50 on Ali Express.
The two bailis sound perfect for this
And fantastic soap choice, dear xir
