    Yesterday

    Wholly Kaw - La Fougere Parfait soap and AS.
    Simpsons Emperor 3
    Wacker - Barbers Bride

    A shave that greatly pleased me.

    I don’t think I’ve seen WK reference Brut in their descriptions, but it is closely related.

    I love the performance of this soap. WK does use ingredients that I think might be gimmicky, but it does outperform the other Brut inspired soap from PAA for me. I don’t like the price, but will restock it.

    I like the AS, but not as much as the Et Tu from PAA. I noticed WK now has an EdT of their scent, sans menthol. I’ll probably have to be in a benevolent mood to make the EdT investment though.

    Heribert Wacker has made razors in the same traditions as his father and grandfather for like 60 years. His son is following in his footsteps. Shame that he still can’t make razors that are perfectly flat. Oh well, there are unsanctioned methods the average dude can use. Beware.... the use of this stuff has been banned by the International Commission of Professional Razor Sharpeners. It works for me, but you must use at your own peril.

    Another satisfying shave this morning. I didn't bother using the Stoylin Frost Drops in the Lime Burst soap(Razorock), as I knew I'd get a nice cold sensation from the Stoylin Glacial Lime A.S. later-which I did. 0:45 to load the St. Great work all around(and I am not a man who likes to brag, but I'll do it when necessary). I continued the "slow&steady wins the race" routine going up NW Porcupine AlleyIt's easily become the most sensitive part of the shave. No issues down at Cactus Nation. Cheeeks and siideburn areas got it good and strong. 2 passes. One light Knick that was controlled by the cold of the A.S. Back-to-back Outta This World Excellent shaves. How about that?????

    well gents,i finally broke down and bought one..
    $10 off ,manager's pick sale mind you;).
    fine shave indeed,smooth,efficient,did the job..
    Am i glad Gillette has a new DE razor? Yes..they did invent the de blade and should have a handle to which they can use their current blades in.only fitting imo..
    Did Gillette make this razor? Yes.In theory.they currently don't own equipment to manufacture razors anymore but it contains it's original old type design traits,and in reality,how many Gillettes were really their design after the old type..so many acquisitions during the 30s made for many mixed designs..
    Is this razor genuine? .Yes..while many will say Gillette is trying to re-enter and make $$ from others ,why shouldn't they?.they invented the very market over 100 years ago with their same business model.
    Will it replace my old razors?.No,i love my vintage Brits for many reasons as well as their shaves..but that is my bias..

    one can judge Gillette for many reasons both good and bad..but they built great shavers that worked for the masses,generations of clean shaves.they gave razors/blades in both world wars and for many veterans their wartime razors were used for years afterwards.i am glad to see Gillette DE razors back in stores.still one of the best in the business..:):eatdrink047:

    It was only fitting that you would get a modern Gillette DE razor. May you enjoy many shaves with it Gary!
