Shave #2
The second shave with the Asylum RX went without drama. I didn't even re-open the cut I inflicted on myself yesterday. The Feather Pro blade was as sharp as it was yesterday, but I used utmost caution and absolutely NO PRESSURE to good effect.
I'm still struggling to like the width of the head. Not much that can be done about that when using Feather AC style blades. This is what I had to say about the head of the Cobra Classic:
Four standard passes and I'm certainly clean shaven. Smooth all over with no blood loss and irritation free. Alum block and ASL have not much to say about the shave. Just how it should be.
Another thing I noticed is how easily the razor cleans. A quick rinse under water and a wipe on a towel and the razor looks as good as new. It's almost Teflon coated.
I'll probably use another blade tomorrow. Not sure which one. Suggestions? Too much choice! I might keep the used Pro blade, cut it down and use it in one of my injectors.

I don't think you could do this with the Asylum RX, so I'm even more convinced that the head of the Cobra is slimmer.You could shave the inside of your nose with it.
