What razor/blade did you use today

1917ish Army Issue Auto Strop VB1 / Modified GEM PTFE / Ghost Town Barber Soap/AS / Vintage ER Badger-Boar knot -- CCC 2 1/2 pass bloodless shave. Love the Steam Punk image of these razors that look so aggressive but in reality are just really mild, efficient shavers

Gillette New - Flat bottom, H-pin - Windrose SS handle
Shark SC (2)

Supremely smooth (as all my flat bottom New-types are) and efficient to DFS in two passes with no alum sting.
The handle is a bit heavy for the head really, but still better than the original handle all my flat bottoms have come with which is pencil thin.

Everything yesterday's wasn't - took the blade out of my woeful GC84-P and put it in the New... far smoother, far more efficient and far less irritation.

Just confirms again that the GC is an absolute bust for me and it's time to get shot of it.
