Good shave. These blades are so hit or miss for me. It seems like every second one I pull out is super harsh or just not that sharp. I feel like I got a couple packs of lemons because my first experience with them was nothing but excellent.

Good shave. Decent amount of stubble to knock down this morning. The Overlander is always able to provide a nice smooth shave.

Good shave. Very enjoyable scent and a soothing aftershave. This blade is at 12 uses and it’s probably time to retire it.

Ok shave. My lather sucked to much water but lazy enough to just deal with it.
