Back to DE’s after about a week of GEM. A lot of people prefer the FBT to a regular oval or triangle slotted tech, but I prefer the latter. The FBT is more aggressive, but to me it doesn’t improve the efficiency much, if at all.
I’m like most people and don’t like Derby blades, but this is a Derby Premium! It’s better than regular Derby, but still not a favorite.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I am totally enjoying the 1950’s shave experience with No. 89. That wooden bowl just looks right next to my wash basin.
