Should be perfect....
That sounds like a good idea. What I didn't like about the tissue/lighter fluid method was the possibility of slicing a fingertip, and/or potentially dulling the blade. Some of them have 'do not wipe blade' printed on the wrapper.

I pour boiling water into the cup and put the blade there for 3 minutes, when the glue has dissolved, shake the water and go to shave.

[Image: 9N2eeg1.jpg][Image: 0inGA1o.jpg]Ok Trial over,

Took seconds!!!!

Perfect solution

pS. The swab can be resealed in the foil pack to prevent drying out, 1x swab will be reuseable many times over....

WR2 1.25SB Polished Ti vs Blackbird Jet

I used new Feather blades in both razors and ran a typical 2.5 pass shave.  A face feel after the first pass indicated the 125 took down slightly more hair. After the second pass, they were virtually identical.  I'd give a slight edge to the 125 in efficiency, not much. The 125 is a bit smoother on the first pass with about the same blade feel as the BB.  Subsequent passes, the BB stayed blade feel true while the 125 blade feel is substantially reduced and gets quite a bit smoother.  Two different ways to get basically the same shave results....today...on my mug.

How do you like the 3/7 hybrid with the H2 knurling vs the H7 knurling? Is the any noticeable difference other than aesthetics?
