1st shave with a new Gillette blue tuck platinum (swede)

I had my first shave this morning with the "swede" or blue tuck platinum.

a nice BBS with a little redness along the adam's apple with the GC .84 OC and Schapenmelk whipped with an Omega synth. 

the blade is sharper than a Polsilver but just as smooth. a two day growth was mowed down in the WTG pass needing only an XTG pass with a little buffing (ok maybe a little too much buffing around the adam's apple) to get a BBS.

I normally wouldn't buy 50 blades without a trial tuck or two but with Bullgooose's 20% off sale I impulse bought blades that are well regarded on TSN and for good reason: very sharp and just as smooth.

I guess I need to try mine again, as my first blade didn't seem like I got the same result. I'll try again with an open mind though.

I bought 50 the first time and now sorry I didn’t buy a second 50 at the 20% off sale. Hopefully I have enough left to last till the next sale.
