Overall decent, but surprisingly I think I don’t like these blades in this razor. Every other blade I’ve tried works great. Or maybe it’s just the lather that doesn’t offer as much protection as I’m used to? I’ve always thought the APR base was quite good, but looks and smell can be deceiving.
Despite the blade not feeling the best, the shave is still super close. This razor just can’t miss.

I have only tried smushes of APR. To me, it was all about the fragrance. There’s nothing wrong with the soap base imo. Just nothing to write home about.
