I've been neglecting my small collection of razors lately in favor of my 1940's Gillette Super Speed. Feeling like I was in a rut,
I got out a new blade today (Derby Extra), and put it in my Gillette Slim Adjustable set on #5. After lathering up with my favorite Proraso Red, I proceeded to get a BBS shave, like I haven't had in a couple of months! I guess I'll repeat the procedure tomorrow to see if lightening can strike twice...
Razor Fatip OC Slant on the Grande Handle Blade Gillette Platinum 2nd
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good enough for 3passes without any weepers today but somehow not as efficient even though the blade was only on its 2nd use.
