  • Gillette Senator

  • Gillette 1941 Aristocrat

  • Gillette Rocket HD

  • Gillette Red Tip

  • Gillette Super Adjustable (short or long handle)

  • Gillette Goodwill (US or Canadian)

  • Jagger DE89

  • Fatip

  • Weber

  • Futur or Vision or Progress

  • Slant (37c or 39c)


Results are only viewable after voting.
I thought the senator would be a good choice for the 100th shave, since each of our 50 states has 2 senators (50 x 2=100) plus it's a pretty good razor.
 
Looks like the slant is going to be the winner for shave #100 with this unstoppable Wilkie blade

I suppose I should duplicate the first shave except I no longer have any Proraso red (sandalwood). I do have Salter sandalwood which I could use in place of the Proraso

Shave #99 today and it was another smooth comfortable close BBS shave.

It has been 3 months straight and I have forgotten what a new fresh blade feels like.

Looking forward to Monday when I can start into my pile of blades once again :001_smile
 
Well the slant head razor won out on the poll so that is what I used for the 100th shave with the Wilkie blade.

The Wilkie is not dead by any stretch of the imagination BUT today I will unwrap an Astra SP and shave with both blades, a fresh blade and one that will be on shave #101. I am looking forward to seeing if there is a difference and what that difference will be.

Stay tuned as the Wilkie soap opera continues. I think I'll call it "As the blade turns" Or "Days of our shaves" :001_smile
