Excellent razor.

Additional notes are in My Journal.
 
Gillette 1959 Fatboy E-4 on setting 9, Astra SP PPI (3)

Today was a 10 day shave. I had been using TOBS Tobacco Leaf for a few months, but I still struggled with consistent lather.

I thought it was maybe the slightly hard well water in my home, but had similar issues with soft water. So I got a tube of Proraso Red in the mail as a "hold over" while I do research and get some soap samples.

Was very pleasantly surprised by the slickness. With heavy growth, the first pass was ridulously easy, I had to check if it was even cutting! It did and a I got a superb shave.

Proraso and Astra are staples for a reason. TOBS was nice, but Proraso is superior for me. YMMV
