Greetings,

Early morning shave,

My focus this month with my Gillette & Wilkinson Sword razors has been a joy. The 1970's Gillette Aluminium Handle Tech S4 / Feather Hi Stainless blade is the best I've tried to date. A close comfortable shave to finish my shaving week off superbly.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original Moisturiser.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Same-looking setup as 22 July, so no photo today

4th Week of July setup
Face brush-washed with Van der Hagen Natural brush and Stirling Mentholated Shave Soap
Gillette Slim, setting 5 initially, then setting 7
Astra Superior Stainless, 1st shave
Barbasol Pacific Rush with Caffeine and Menthol
Stirling Pro-Handle synthetic brush
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

METHODOLOGY: Above-jawline WTG; below-jawline XTG; full-face ATG; below-jawline 2nd ATG
SHAVE CLOSENESS: Excellent, just barely missed being BBS
SHAVE COMFORT: Excellent, as if there wasn't a blade in the razor
NICKS/IRRITATION: None
SHAVE LONGEVITY: Excellent. Shave looked great 10 hours later
FRAGRANCE LONGEVITY: Velva typically fades away in 90 minutes for me.
OVERALL: The Astra SS was as smooth as butter from the very first swipe. Nice!
COMMENTS: I was really looking forward to the Astra SS coming up for its turn in my blade rotation, and I sure wasn't disappointed today. Today's shave was absolutely delightful: smooth, comfortable, and carefree. If I had to choose just one razor blade to keep on hand, Astra SS might be the one I'd go with.

Very cool looking razor. With which razors could you compare this with? More on the "Rockwell 6S on Plate 3 or 4" side or more on the "R41" side, because it has a lot of blade exposure as it seems on your pic.

 

Probably closer to the Rockwell 6S on Plate 3, but still quite efficient. Would make a good daily driver, Plus IMHO, the heavy handle contributes to it's efficiency.
