Mühle r89 | Gillette SharpEdge - 2
Razor: US 1948-9 Gillette Super Speed
Blade: Astra Superior Stainless (2)
Excellent shave tonight with the silky smooth 40's Super Speed.
A great pairing with the Russian Astra Superior Stainless, a blade I wasn't familiar with. Early days but it fills a nice upper-mid sharp/smooth niche.
Nice!

Pre shave Proraso

Omega Boar Bristle
Razor: Gillette Slim: 1st pass wtg (3) 2nd pass atg (5)
Blade: Astra Superior Stainless Steel
Alum
Aftershave: Aqua Velva
10/10
Not sure if I'd say Astra is better than Silver Blue, we'll need to wait for a few shaves to check durability. But it is the first to freely go below the jawline with no irritation. Silver Blue is still the best on my face.
I'm almost out of Proraso soap. Looking to give something else a try. Goodfellas Smile has my interest peaked. Anyone ever use that brand? I'm looking at Sea Citrus and Pino Alpestre.
