Four Lords A-Leaping – Lord Super Stainless

Here we are: the last week of the four week trek through the Lord blades in the collection. Lord Super Stainless blades. To recap, I started with the uncoated Lord Classic blade, followed by the Lord Platinum and then the Super Chrome. The shaves have progressively gotten better, but I'm not...

Four Lords A-Leaping – Lord Super Chrome

Lord Super Chrome blades. It's week three with the Lord blades, and this week's entrant is the Lord Super Chrome. It's another coated blade, so I'm expecting good things, but I've been burned by chrome coated blades before (I'm looking at you, Shark Super Chrome, which is also a Lord product)....

Four Lords A-Leaping — Lord Platinum

It's week two of the four weeks of Lord blades, and this week, after a week of an uncoated blade that felt rough, I'm back with the Lord Platinum, a blade that obviously is coated with platinum. Lord Platinum Class blades. As a reminder, I'm pairing the blades with the Rockwell...

The 2026 Anniversary Month Shaves – Week Four

The last week. It ends here with the last three shaves. I've saved the more medium-aggressive razors for this last week, and I'm pairing them with some mellow, milder blades: the PAA Platinum Strangelet Super Sharps, and the Parker Premium Platinum. Uh...the last week of the Anniversary Month shaves. The last...

The Back to Normal Shaves

After a celebratory week of shaves, I'm back to normal(ish) shaves, meaning I'll stick with one razor and one blade all week. But if you enjoy the chaos I demonstrated last week, stay tuned. You'll get your wish in August for the Anniversary shaves. But that's later and this is now....

Shave 300 Week

I've been making a big deal of this for a while now. Sunday's shave is shave #300, though honestly, I made a rough estimate of about the first 60 shaves and started logging the shaves with shave 66. But even though the number is a little arbitrary, it's based on some...

The Much Hyped Blade Shaves Week

Yeah, I'll talk about the big bag in that picture up there in a second. But let's talk about the star of the week's shaves first. Last year, Personna announced that they'd be replacing a much loved blade in their brand with another blade. And, they announced that this new blade...
