First two shaves with the Avanti and a Nacet blade where underwhelming- one side feels a touch more aggressive than the other and it feels a touch rough but that might be the blade as it wasn’t a great shave in the Ti Blackbird. The adjustment knob isn’t that smooth either (I have cleaned and lubricated the threads - I think it’s the surface between the knob and the handle).

SOTD - Monday 25th November 2025

Proraso Lime Azur pre-shave
Sanofi Shave Cream (tube)
Omega Pura Setola Red Brush 10077
Merkur 42C
Dorco Prime Platinum (1st use)
Cold Water
Gillette Refreshing Breeze aftershave splash
Cambridge Knight Eau de Toilette
Kmart Active Ritual aftershave balm

A decent citrus mix, the Prime blade was smooth but not especially sharp and I needed 3 passes plus pick-ups and still couldn't quite achieve BBS. The cream and balm are as cheap as you can get but still adequate performers. The Gillette splash and Cambridge Knight EdT rounded things off nicely. Enjoy your week everyone...

The Nacet in some razors feels rough, you are right.

Check with a Wizamet too Paul and give me feedback.
