| Comments | This is my 5th shave with my UK Aristocrat loaded with a Personna Medical Prep blade. The razor/blade combo continues to impress me. The soap is on its 19th use. The brush is one of my smaller brushes. As a result, I have to go back to load the brush to get sufficient lather for my head. Nevertheless, it was a perfect shave. Have a great day. |

Razor: Fatboy
Blade: Lord SS (11)
Brush: Omega 10049
Lather: Stirling Agar
Balm: TOBS Mr. Taylor’s Luxury balm
Aftershave: Bootlegger’s Perfecto Maduro
The Fatboy qualifies as a “cheapie.” On one side the door or safety bar or both are sprung causing the blade to bounce while shaving. It’s only safe to use one side. So it only cost $12.00.

Blade: Willy's x2

Shaving Stick: Easy Shaving Stick
Aftershave: Woody's Aftershave Tonic

hey so fancied using the Savoir 2.0 russian de razor which takes 2 DE blades,
so had to pull out two willys for this one loool
so first time using two willys de blades,
they're sharp and smooth,
I have to say they're one of the most comfortable blades ive used and I love them, as you can tell you can usually tell whether you like something or not after a few strokes, or course YMMV
I got that Woodys aftershave tonic from tk maxx but I was thinking it was just aftershave so first time I used aftershave tonic and it's more like a oil, so like a balm in a sense, I like it wasn't too bad too fair
Overall a superb shave, thoroughly enjoyed it and this de is one of my favourites and it's hybrid open comb and safety bar too, underrated...
On a side note been enjoying using alum block recently, did stop for a while
p.s even though cba using the proraso preshave lol
