Result: 4.1/5.0 One teeney tiny spot of blood. I almost didn't even see it. The Wilkinson Sword Shave Stick performed to expectations. Don't use a stick very often but not an issue. I just need to figure out a good storage method since all they give you is the tin foil to cover it with. I'll work
something out. I had that "thick" skin feeling again. I wonder if it was the super pro blade. I'll have to try a pro blade next wee to see if it makes a difference. Maybe I'm just having a thick skin cycle. :)
