Regardless of shave quality, my shaves last significantly longer with a straight or a shavette, than with any other razor.
That's one thing I don't like about the weather here....it can be boiling hot and humid in the summer and frostbite freezing in the winter. Probably like that in many places, I suppose. Now as I look back, the best place for weather where I lived was the year my family lived on the Stanford campus...my dad was a visiting law professor. We didn't experience the summer much, but it was pleasantly mild the whole year. College baseball starting in late February...60's for Christmas....NICE.
Thank you, Jeff! For my razor collection, only 5 are current modern production. The rest are either vintage or antique. I've just been neglecting some of the vintage Gillettes lately.
Fantastic shave and photo, Clint. That's a shame about the boar knot. I hope it either improves dramatically and fast, or you find a better knot for it. The handle is too beautiful to be left in a drawer.
