This British Version of a G-Bar is for me a better Razor than the Push Button, as the extra weight seems improve the Shave that I get. Despite the blade showing that it was past its best, I managed with extra polishing up work to get a better quality of all round finish than I did with the PB. I am not at all surprised that this a popular Razor, especially suited for those with lighter beards

First ever shave with a Schick Krona razor - a recent acquisition. Once I became accustomed to the lower mass, it was a delight to use. Very tactile, and despite being a mild razor, it gave good feedback. Also, the angle was easy to find. Three passes a a couple of buffs for a DFS+.

I matched the startlingly fresh Boreal soap scent with an equally robust fougère in the form of Knize Forest. Wonderful :D.

Soap - Arko
Razor - Yaqi OC
Blade - Gillette Wilkinson Sword (17)
Post - Witch Hazel
Balm - RSC
Splash - Superdrug Sierra Breeze

I've reached the joint highest shaves I've ever got with a single blade and even though the results were very good the blade felt very rough in usage. It's been a great blade in performance, one of the better non Russian blades I've used.
