The more i use this Unmentionable the better the shaves i am getting, they are smooth, comfortable and efficient. No blade chatter or feel which i like, no indication it is ever going to bite at all. The Unmentionable is giving me very similar (and very good) results as a couple of other mild/efficient Unmentionables in the rotation. What's not to like.
I have also really enjoyed "the Fat" this week and may even try "Mitchells May" next month, not sure yet.
Anyway,
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Unmentionable praise for your unmentionable shave. Cool 
So "Mitchells May" sounds interesting. If I can remember, maybe I will join in. I will keep Menthol Mondays, Tabac Tuesdays, and Williams Wednesday, but I could easily to Mitchells May the rest of the time. Wink

Pre      - Pears Transparent original face wash
Brush  - Silver Birch Brushes - Cocobolo
Soap   - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Razor  - Unmentionable (plus back up)
Blade  - Feather Light Blade
Post    - Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm   - Tonyschin's Cedarwood and Patchouli Argan Oil and Balm
A/S     - Pinaud Brandy Spice

Hmmm! Confused , Not a very good start to the day!
I have wanted to try the Feather Light Blade in a particular Unmentionable for a while now to try to tame it a little, @7.4mm wide - 0.6mm less of the blade is exposed from the head compared to a Pro. I decided to try it in a less aggressive unmentionable 1st - Big mistake.
To get the blade onto the stubble requires the razor to be at a very open angle and this, i feel, pulls at the hair instead of slicing through it giving the feeling of a prickly, blunt blade, not smooth at all even if it did cut the stubble.
I abandoned the shave mid 1st pass and finished with the wonderful sub.
I will give the FLB a run out in the intended unmentionable as the head geometry is less forgiving.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all
