    Wednesday Morning 16/07/2025



    • Razor : Gillette slim adjustable 1965 (K3) nickel plated brass. (7)
    • Blade : Wizamet super iridium (1).
    • Brush : Razorock beehive 28mm plissoft synthetic.
    • Soap : Stirling SC Arkadia (Beef tallow).
    • Aftershave : 4711 original aftershave.
    • Weight : 71 grams.
    Hi all,

    I had a great shave this morning with a classic Gillette whether you like it or not the Slim adjustable is an iconic razor.

    Following immediately after it’s more famous older cousin the $1.95/Fatboy adjustable.



    As far as I can tell on close inspection the adjustable head is the same on both models. (My opinion only)

    Although the plating is of better quality on the $1.95/Fatboy.

    As far as which one I prefer shave wise.

    I would pick the slim purely because the longer handle is a bit easier for me to manoeuvre.



    The razor on setting seven worked very well with the Wizamet blade.

    Like all adjustable razors , the settings are up to the individual to work out what suits them best.



    One pass WTG/ATG with a couple of touchups.

    No nicks no worries.



    Finished off nicely with the classic 4711 aftershave splash.



    Cheers.

    Unfortunately one of the last Gillette‘s built to last if taken care of of course.
    Cheers.

    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Duru Cologne

    The Williams Mug Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the RazoRock Black Hawk Razor and the Feather Professional AC Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Duru Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Wednesday morning’s Nuclear Grand Freeze:

    Cool shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/7 AM day 4
    Stirling Glacial Cedar SS
    Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
    Stirling Glacial Cedar AS Splash
    Azzaro Wanted By Night EdP

    No fooling around today - it’s going to be 40 Celsius with the humidity factor so it had to be a FRIGID setup. The Glacial Cedar soap and aftershave smell so beautiful and give a menthol sensation that can knock a polar bear on his tukhis. The Wanted By Night fragrance from Azzaro is nice, yes but it’s not something I would buy again. All in all a great three pass BBS shave that was most enjoyable. Off to my pool soon!

    Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe![​IMG]
