7 shaves in with the Proline blade and the 'A' plate in the Hawk.
Just starting to get a tad bluntish. Can feel the odd whisker stubble still standing after 2 passes. Might get a few more shaves from it.
To be fair, I'm still using up the last of the Cella Bio. A better soap might help with more smoothness.
But I'm not going to use the Aermeda soap again until the Cella is dead.
Next blade swap time I will bung on the OC plate too.
Seems to be 2 schools of thought about this. One lot say the 'A' plate is more aggressive, others say the OC is more aggressive.
I will soon find out.

Try the Feather Pro out and give the supers a run too. The OC is the most efficient and aggressive with the A behind it and the standard an easy shaver.

I get about 6 shaves with my P30s at the max.

The tub has a huge amount of tallow cut out. Barbers around the world, take out a small portion of the Brick when needed and store the rest in the refrigerator. Due to the high tallow content unlike the tub and also very little preservative in there, the block needs to be refrigerated. If I had to live with just one soap alone, this would be it.

1kg Cella, you'll never stick to the only soap on earth, keep dreaming.

Mmh, big statement, in which if I enjoyed the after shave (I prefer matching soap/after splash or balm sets if poss) I would agree, mine is Old Spice vintage followed by Cella.
 
Well...I just discovered that the Cella Bio can 'go off' too.
I never let it sit wet. I let it dry between shaves.
But a couple of days ago I noticed wee 'lumps' in the basin as I shaved. Thought it might have been remnants of toothpaste.
This morning I paid more attention and noticed the Cella Bio was looking all warty. Ah...that's what those wee lumps are.
It's the Cella breaking down.
Easy fix...biffed it and will be on to the Aermeda for tomorrows shave.
So in expectation of a great shave I have put on the Hawk OC plate and a Kai Captain Mild (Pink).
I will get adventurous after that and try the Feather blades as per @Bladerunner7 advice.
