LHS, chin WTG: Gillette Super Silver (1968) edge 1 shave 4 & 7/2
RHS, chin ATG: Schick Super Stainless edge 1 shave 4 & 7/2
Wilkinson Sword Classic (plastic) razor, Arko stick, Frank shaving 20mm best badger.
I was a friend's yesterday evening, hunkering round their firepit with a whiff of citronella candles to keep the bugs away. There was only one possible soap choice for today!
Because I have to call it today (due to travel), I'm going to. Both blades have slowed down, but both still give a great finish, better than many modern blades. The Gillette is just a tiny bit draggier than the Schick at this stage, so the Schick takes the crown!
I'm almost excited about moving on with the blade unemcumbered with the comparison, but the Wilky is also my travel razor, so the only variable will be the soap and brush. Though once travelling, I'll be sticking with the same setup for the week.
I can't wait to come home!
