I love the Legacy. I've noticed not all blades work well in it, but most are very good. It took me a while to get the hang of that razor, but now it's one of my top 2 or 3.

That's what everyone says! What's your favorite blade for the razor? Need to give a fresh wizamet a try in it, but I'm going to throw a Perma-Sharp in it next.

I used a new Aluminum CFL for AA, but I'm thinking of testing some different blades in it as well. The last SOTD Hardware Report lists these as the most used blades in the CFL for the month:
Chiseled Face Legacy + Gillette Nacet
Chiseled Face Legacy + Personna Lab Blue
Chiseled Face Legacy + Wizamet

I threw a Perma-Sharp in it this morning, and it was great! I'll try it with a fresh wizamet after this one.

I've tried it a few times with a Nacet now, and it has made a substantial difference.
