    The Bulldog was on the bucket list, and around the same time, I found this one. Pretty stoked. I’d been hoping to find one, but had more doubt than confidence.
    This one is a US, not British, 468B...I think.

    I must say everyone, your Gillette July photos are awesome. It makes me feel happy that other wet shavers are joining me in this celebration of vintage Gillette DE razors.

    I don't have a photo, but today I used a Gillette Old Type Thick Cap with ball end handle. Combined with Tabac soap the results were spectacular.

    Stetson Sunday shave, first spin with the Synthetic Super Lux
    Brush: Rich Hansen Starry Night handle with 30mn Synthetic Super Lux knot
    Razor: 1961 Gillette Fatboy level 5
    Blade: Voskhod
    Soap: Abbate Y La Mantia Buttero
    Aftershave: Stetson Cooling Moisture
    This brush is a lather making machine. On my first pass I had enough lather for 5 or 6 passes even though I only did 3. If you're thinking of investing in the Synthetic Super Lux I say get it ASAP! It's that damn good. Soft to the touch yet has plenty of backbone. Good shave good day everyone.
