I could tell from the first stroke that this was going to be a good shave. The 57 Red Tip aka Alabama Slammer sure liked the Gillette/ Wilkinson blade and proved it with a nice close shave. Used the P160 again and will continue until that tiny chunk will yield no more lather . 3 passer in all directions with a splash of Dickinson's and a splash o Brut. *Dont forget about skin stretching and proper technique. I still incorporate that in every shave . * @Hembree ....I think you sent this razor to the right place my friend . We are becoming very close after only 2 shaves.
Thanks Gary. I had a feeling you would eventually say that . But seriously, yes it is the real deal. It gives me the kind if shave I desire.
Tried and true . Too bad Gillette never stuck to their tradition of making quality shave products and kept their politics to themselves. They swindled a fortune out of me on substandard cart garbage . Glad I saw the light.
they duped all of the western world my friend..enjoy the classics.... and remember that new stuff isn't much better..just in looks ..
Glad you liked the RedTip Patrick. I have to buff a lot to get a smooth shave with it. I need a more aggressive DE razor like my Fatboy or my Rockwells to get BBS with very little pickups.
