Derby Premium

Pros

• I’ve got a Fatip Piccolo OC, an R89 & a Parker Semi-Slant, as well as a variety of blade samplers, from Derby Premium to Feather HS.
• Derby Premium, Astra, Treet and Gillette Super Stainless should be OK.
• Great shave! Did a lot against the grain once I realized everything was smooth and comfortable.
• Derby Premium is one of my favorites
• I loved Derby Premium in my Merkur 23c when I used to shave my beard.
