Joined Wchnu Fuzzy in using a Vintage DE blade that's Mentionable here   Got a Micromatic shave in with the Vintage Reversible Blade. Identical to his accept mine does not say "Service Pack" just meaning it was civilian. I got a close shave in with it but noticeably more a challenge than he had. My only thought is it is difference in beard type/coarseness. NOT a pissing contest, it just is what it is. I had no trouble doing wtg and xtg but could tell it would struggle ATG. It did struggle but in the end gave a veddy nice and close shave. Blades were sealed in cellophane and in amazing condition. Thanks for dipping toes in the water and pushing me in Fuzzy   Have a great day All !

Sometimes the rough feeling shave is the closest one. I do not do ATG at all for that reason. I see no need to tempt the irritation monster for something that will only last a few hours. Good looking shave all around though.

Veddy nice I have a brush like that that needs a new knot. I think one of those could be in it's future.

Yep, I know your feelings on the 3rd pass from your videos. I just had to go with slower strokes to let it struggle thru. No irritation. For me the 3rd pass gives me @10-12 hours before I feel things returning versus 2 hours if I don't do it so worth it to me. I gotta have the smooth feeling to be happy. Happy Shaves to you
