The Legacy is such a fantastic razor.

I agree, the Legacy is just great. Checking my razor/blade combo entries in the SDS, Lab Blue doesn't rate very highly for me with the Legacy. I only have very limited data on it, though -- a sample size of 1!

[–] snooting@wetshav.ing 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Interesting. Could be worth revisiting, it’s one of my favorite razor/blade combos.

Though Lab Blues work well for me in pretty much every razor I’ve tried.

[–] walden@wetshav.ing 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm definitely going to revisit. Lab Blue is one of my usual favorites, as is the Legacy. Not all blades work with it though, like my other favorite Bolzano... pretty bad combo.

[–] snooting@wetshav.ing 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Man, such a YMMV thing. I got great results from Bolzano + Legacy! πŸ˜‚

[–] walden@wetshav.ing 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Crazy! Well actually, which Bolzano? The new ones are probably better than the old ones. (German are older, Egypt newer)

We'll never know. I finished the one tuck of them that I had and didn't note where they were made.
