    Excellent shave, tabac is marvelous, tons of lather facelathering with the 2000, still nothing compares to Tabac lather. This was my second shave with the white Gillette Platinums, and so far it is an excellent blade, sharp and smooth, it didn't loose any of its sharpness so far and I'm starting to love them.
    It was a 3 pass , no irritation BBS shave.

    A good shave really makes my evening :D

    Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
    Razor: Gillette Red Tip A3, French Fau Frame Back straight razor
    Blade: Wilkinson Sword (5)
    Brush: Turkish #6
    Soap: L'Occitane - Cade
    After: Home made ASB, Aqua Velva Musk after shave
    After Shave: Aoud Leather

    An easy Darn Fine Shave + this morning. The #6 had no problem whipping the Cade into a yogurt like consistency. the Red Tip and the Frenchy dealt with the stubble with ease. The Aoud Leather will have me smelling great for the rest of the day.

    Have a blessed day!!

    I have similar wimpy skin issues. Maybe try a PTFE (teflon) coated blade? I am a fan of Silver Blue, also like Voskhod. I find Stainless Blades like Astra, 7 O'Clock, Shark, etc all seem to increase redness and swelling. I hope you figure it out!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried both Silver Blue and Voshkod . . . no difference.

    JR Reyes I scream for....chicken wings??

    Great job on that brush, very nice. Is that wickham from the more recent batch? I haven't seen that packaging, and am curious if you picked up any of the new scents? Would you say the scent strength has increased? Thanks.

    How about pitching the blade after 2 or 3 shaves?

    As do I. :o Throat irritation is the bane of us sensitive-skinned fellows.

    I have to admit, however, that rarely do I get any throat irritation anymore since I made the switch to straight razors. Perhaps this is due to the lighter touch, or fewer repeated strokes than with a DE razor—but post-SR shave, the alum block rarely finds a 'hot spot.'

    Nivea for Men Sensitive Face Wash
    C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream
    Omega Pro 98 boar brush
    Gillette Super Speed '47
    Astra SP
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    The C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream face-lathered very easily with my Omega Pro 98 Boar Brush. Two passes with my '47 Gillette Super Speed and Astra SP blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    NoVember!

    A rare 24 hour interval on the shave...worked well, no irritation on 2pass DFS, good enough for a Wednesday!

    PS- I feel Silver Blue and Voskhod are equivalent in performance for me, both are Teflon coated Russian Blades.

    That's a thought, but I usually get 6-8 decent shaves with these blades. "Decent," for me, includes neck irritation.
