Result: 4.6/5.0 Nice smooth shave. Scaled things back a little by using the Pro Guard Blades on the Feather ACD-N Razor and the Crystal Blades with the Mild Gillette Adjustable Razor. Combined with the always reliable Nancy Boy Signature Cream and you should get a decent well mannered shave and I did. The one note on the Nancy Boy Cream is that it needs water. It will dry out on you and leave these weird flying soap flakes. So, don't leave it on your face too long to dry out. Add water.
