thank you so much Paul. i fell into the gillette rabbit hole a few years back and collected over 100 nice sets and singles.after some trading and such i kept about 50 ish,mostly british gilletes,wih a few key canadian and u.s examples.all have a flaw or 2 and every one gets used,no shelf queens.i've moved on from collecting now other than an odd score from an antique shop,if i see an odd gillette tech i rescue it,mostly silly stuff...after a lifetime in the car repair/resto industry this is more my speed(and budget)these days.thanks again.

Thank you, Gary.

Thank you, Joe.

August 24 SOTA

Good afternoon.

Gillette Heritage
Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (3)
L'Occitane Plisson Synthetic Brush
Stirling Tsuka SS and AS
Stirling Alum Block
Personal Care Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 29 hrs



I am going to an event this evening so I went with an easy shave. I haven't used my Gillette Heritage in a month so it got the call. I come to realize that I like any Wilkinson Sword DE Blade regardless where it's made. They are sharp, but smooth for me. I consider them my favorite blade.
Of course, my favorite soap is Stirling and Tsuka is one of my favorites. Here's my lather:



Three error-free passes gave me a BBS result. Has some alum feedback, but nothing terrible. Splashed on the witch hazel and the wonderful matching aftershave. Before I leave, I will squirt a few shots of the matching EdT that is not pictured. Take care.

Nice setup and shave Chris.

Very nice setup and shave Joe. At one time I was interested in Nordost, but when I found out that it was not a bright citrus, then I decided against it.

Super Seaforth and upper-crust shave Gary.

If there was a Razor Museum, they would ask you if you would display your collection for at least 3 months.

splendid stirling saturday shave and pics Joe.

then what would i shave with?

Thanks Gary.

If memory serves me correct, then I think you have a shavette in your collection. Three months/ 90 shaves would make you proficient using one.

very true,that's one option.

You behave yourself this evening Joe
Love the story in the shaving review

thank you Joe.

Thanks Paul. I was a complete gentleman this evening.

Great shave set up Joe.

Greetings,

Relaxing Sunday Morning Shave.

The Wilkinson Sword TTO is completely different to the Wilkinson Sword Classic plastic two piece. Aggression wise I personally find it very similar as my Chinese Gillette super speed clones. My only gripe with it is the longer than needed handle, apart from that it's a good shaver.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

thanks again Gary

Thanks Joe
