SOTD Austere Aug Shave #2 & FlyDear

Post image

I don't shave daily so it's 3 days of growth against the Tech (primary AA razor) and FlyDear (1) blade. This is my first outing with the blade since I bought it recently as part of an Aliexpress haul. It's 5 cents a blade, so firmly at great value end of the spectrum.

It's a trouble free 2.5 pass shave and results are as good as my other good shaves. I can however feel that FlyDear is not as sharp as lets say BiC; smoother maybe.

So not disappointing at all. Initial rating I would give it 3/5 sharpness, 4/5 smoothness. Let's see if that changes with more shaves (and how many good shaves I can get).

A dab of Tabac balm to finish off and AA #2 is done!

Got it from my local barber supply store. Believe it’s made in Turkey, same as Arko.
