    Tuesday OCtober 2

    Hitting 2nd, a 101 year old, 1918 Gillette Bulldog.

    Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
    Soap - Le Pere Lucien Savon du Barbier (A+in my book)
    Brush - M&F
    Blade - Feather HI SS (4)
    Razor - 1918 Gillette Bulldog
    Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Baum.BE A/S balm, Floid SE Mentolado Vigoroso A/S

    Shave rating 3.5 of 5

    First shave with this razor, was kind of show only before. I really like barber pole handles. This razor has a problem with alignment of the blade plus I noticed a very slight hairline crack in the handle. I will need to look for a replacement. I was in a bit of a rush so I didn’t want to play with the blade alignment - one side was mild, the other aggressive - so I did a careful one pass, DFS shave. This soap is great, lather and lubricity are superior.

    Looking through my stash to see what other century old Gillette razors I can pull out and use for the remainder of the week.

    Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.

    with various charts about and stuff like that ,nacets seem to be quite sharp and very consistent based on spec's.by using them my experience is the same..smooth and efficient for at least 3-4 shaves..haven't taken one past 5 but it was starting to get a little tuggy on the first pass so i binned it..platinums in the blue and white box do last longer and are silky smooth as well..very close to spoiler blades..for me of course..
