I could give up all other razors for it. I find it to be a nice mild but efficient shaver. I like the heft of the heavy bulldog handle. I use it for face and head shaving.
Have to represent my department at a conference so decided since I had to look and smell extra nice today to use my "elite gear" and to keep within the vintage Gillette Razor theme this week. On to the Fatboy tomorrow.

SOTD 3/20 Razor Gillette New LC Blade Rapira Platinum Lux Brush Strong Set Soap Razorock XXX Several coats of witch hazel calmed my skin last night. So, after yesterday's bad blade mishap, today's shave was only a light 2 pass (WTG, XTG). Very, very light touch resulting in a presentable shave. The baby laughed at me the entire time, the little bastard.

Frey's Day: Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Invigorating Face Wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm Brush: Simpson 56 Best Badger Soap: Ginger's Garden Grass Stain Menthol Snow Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (3) Passes: WTG, XTG, XTG (7, 8, 9) Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma alum, Dickinson's WH, RazoRock Cumba Cheech AS balm Cologne: Aoud Forest by Montale (sample) Another day of great lather. The Bic is holding up better than they often do; I don't think I'll regret pushing it to 4 days (famous last words?). That said, I had a relatively nasty weeper on my throat during my second pass, entirely due to a lapse in concentration on my part. I could practically see it about to happen without being able to stop the weeper from bleeding. You'd think I'd be able to avoid such silliness, but at least I got a DFS shave. Even though it meant I had to wipe away the excess which wouldn't absorb, I opted for the Cumba Cheech balm to finish up, because the cold spell we've had the past couple of days, after several days above freezing, has really dried out my skin. My face does feel smoother and more supple after the RR balm.
I just want to say a big THANK YOU for wishing me Happy Birthday. You guys are awesome!!! I´m very proud that i´m a member here and to be a lucky guy to see all your comments, pictures and posts. Let em come!!! Thank you very much. Greetings Thorsten
Tabac FTW Another easy excellent shave with Tabac. The Beast made typical great Tabac lather in seconds, building comfortably on my face for Der Vorschlaghammer to destroy. Krampert's is a nice compliment and my face feels great.
