I have always wanted to love the Gillette Old Type.
I have thin cap and thick cap versions, and the thin cap is noticeably better for me.
But while it is always a good, close shave, it has a tendency to feel a little more harsh than is desirable for a daily driver.
This morning, on a whim, I put a Perma Sharp in it, and the stainless handle that came with my RazoRock SLAB.
The Perma Sharps are a blade I have only recently tried.
I lathered up with Stirling Ozark Mountain, and was amazed at the difference.
Smooth, not harsh feeling, and zero feedback from the Aqua Velva. A BBS.
This combo could turn an occasional razor into one that makes the regular rotation.
