    Cold Water Rinse
    Vintage Life Licorice Shave Soap
    Olivewood Silvertip
    Gillette Fat Handle Old Type Frankenrazor
    Personna Super (50)
    CWR
    PSC Caffeinated After Shave

    The Vintage Life Licorice Shave Soap lathered well with the Olivewood Silvertip Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Fat Handle Old Type Frankenrazor with a Personna Super blade (50) gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    This brings to an end, for now, of my longevity test for the Personna Super Stainless blade. I added six more shaves to it for a total of 52 shaves. I will set it aside and continue at a later date.

    Razor: Gillette Golden Tech- Mfg 1940's, mild razor, nice handling, always liked the Gillette fat handle, like to use a extra wide Kai SS blade to give it a boost with a little extra blade feel.
    Blade: Kai SS (5) excellent blade, extra wide compared to a Gillette standard blade by .009" thousands of a inch, or .0045 per side.
    Sharp & smooth with great longevity. A bit pricy but having a tuck in the den for those mild razors is nice.
    Soap: Razorock Lavender, nice scent + excellent lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Moka express 26mm 2band badger- excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice scrub, great lather painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: Razorock King Louis Lavender with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= [​IMG] excellent shave with my Gillette golden tech with a wide Kai SS Blade.

    Might as well parade the unicorn through this thread since it is a Gillette razor. I have to say it does shave well and not because it is a unicorn and has to be awesome for that reason alone. I've done 2 shaves on it with today being set at 8 on the dial. It gets me to a BBS finish but barely.
