Which Razor should I use for Shave #100 with the Wilkie

[Mick]

For those who have been following my oddesy with a British triple coated Wilkinson Sword blade, Next Saturday (Aug 31st) will mark shave #100 on a single DE blade.

You choose which Razor I should use for Shave #100 with the Wilkie

I can't post a poll on the already open thread (polls must be in the first post in a thread) so I started this one for any who are interested to jump in and say what I should use for the Wilkie's 100th shave

I can only have 12 choices in a poll so a few will require a post to say which.

Freak!

..but really, all I can say is Wowser!!

Slant 39C got my vote.

I love that razor.

 

[Jasman]

Voted for the stylish FaTip.

Toggle. If not that then either the Aristocrat or Senator. Something vintage for sure. You are shaving with a razor blade that is vintage and fabulous. You need to honor it with an equally vintage and fabulous razor. British Aristocrat #15 would be another good choice, or a #66. For gosh sakes don't put it in a Futur or something.

 

[Kramerica]

I'd almost agree with the Toggle, but voted for the Aristo. A classic razor for a classic blade.

 

[Chadao]

You should have that blade plated.

 

[NCJack]

I voted for slant, but now agree that your most vintage or classic razor should be used.

 

[ArNav]

you should have that blade plated.

lol.

Going a bit "ATG" here: Super Adjustable (long handle)! It seems to get along fine with most any blade.

 

[chilliman64]

I voted for the Senator, because I want one - but I'd be equally happy for you to use a slant or a progress.

lol.

I'm going to have it bronzed and mounted next to my baby shoes

Interested to know what razor you used for the first shave? Any recollection? Maybe that would be the go-to for the centennial!

I pegged it with the first guess. Now off to buy a Lotto ticket

First shave on it was with my Merkur 39c slant

Then that's my vote!

Not to be a party-pooper, but what would happen if the blade finally crapped out at 98 or 99?

So you HAVE to use the 39C for shave 100!

I am noticing a degradation in the quality of the shave. It is like it has hit a wall yesterday. Today's shave was not worse but it is no longer smooth and sharp like it was last week.

Amazing. All of a sudden POW... I'm done for...

I am sure it will go 6 more shaves but they are not the smooth comfortable type shave that the previous 91 shaves were.

I don't think I will have to "force it" or "endure" an awful shave but it is not the blade it was last week.
