    15mm vs 17mm baseplate..not my pic..measured across bottom.. download (2).jpg 052028.jpg yours may be a 15mm based on your pics..also see where your gillette stamp is RFB 1.gif your pic..and mine. 20190601_162459.jpg 20190614_034037.jpg 20190614_035433.jpg 17mm 2 piece on left, 15mm on right..hope this helps..
    the top of the baseplate is identical between the 15 and 17 mm .the 15 has deeper lather channels shave feels the same imo..

    Perhaps you should try avoiding an ATG pass on this area and see if the razor burn goes away.

    Good point. Mapping growth patterns help to avoid irritation from shaving in the wrong direction. Some guys are lucky enough to have the " swirl" or circular pattern under the jaw to which every direction feels like ATG.

    Great progress. Yes it’s fine to include the witch hazel.

    Thank you Jason. This is a modern 400 that had an awful polishing job. I just couldn’t stand to use it until I had a go at polishing.

    Maybe the Blues will get a Black Hawk or two as a result of free agency. And there's always draft week-end(which I love watching).

    Happy Friday !!! Inspired by @jluc , I decided to pull out my neglected Pre de Provence soap and give it a go. The soap is not the slickest but it is easy to lather and works very well. I really like the Fougere type scent of the soap which makes face lathering even better. Three passes and touch ups ended in another drama free perfect BBS shave. A splash of Myrsol Balsamica and I am off to my office. I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday.
