Gus.

 

I might try Stoylin's G&T with A&E's London Gin.

 

Thank you Gus

 

Without question, the British RFB is my favorite Vintage Gillette of all time. A perfect combination of smoothness, efficiency and supreme comfort that is nearly unmatched. Superb shaver for me, truly. Great shaves to all....

The Way It Must Be For Sunday(4th):

prep-Nivea 4 Men Hydration Bodywash(w/Aloe Vera)
shave-Razorock Lime Burst
brush-Stoylin 26 mm Pro-Handle synthetic
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Stoylin Coniferous(w/Menthol)

 

Not spending as much time on shaving forums, life took over... but still wet shaving every day.

Took a break from a long stretch with vintage Gillettes this morning, and used this modern yet classic contraption by whatever unknown Chinese vendor Maggard is sourcing their razors from. This one is a V3A in gunmetal finish on, I believe, MR11 handle.

Paired with a Nacet on its 2nd run, it gave me a clean, smooth, problem-free, long lasting shave.

To be honest, as much as I like the history and looks of old razors like Slims, the modern ones are often both more efficient and more forgiving.
