As soon as you see a pre war tech, you know it’s a waste of time reading about the shave because it will always be perfect.

I've got one, and they are great performers!

Soap: Bignoli Liquirizia e Menta
Razor: Timeless OC Slim GT
Blade: Personna Red (7)

An excellent shave.
The GT handle on the Slim really made it shine… it's now pushed my Olive Wood handle off the Number One spot.


Happy shaves guys.
