That is the best looking Slim I've ever seen. How did you do it and is easily replicated?

2nd day with the ATT head but first time with the R1 plate. Wow, this thing is the most aggressive razor I've tried to date. I can't imagine what the H1 plate is like.
BBS in 2.5 passes but it wasn't enjoyable (it could sense my fear).

Thursday evening

Merkur Progress XL on 3
Laser Ultra
Semogue SOC boar
wilkinson Sword blue tub soap
Aqua Velva

Just needed a blade for one shave so diped in to the one blade basket and pulled out a laser Ultra. Still not the smoothest shave but have to say it was closer than last time I used one and no irritation at all, in fact the shave was pretty good and finished very nicely by the Aqua Velva.

Still not sure I would look at the blade for a second shave but fair dos it went quite well last night. I'm pleasantly surprised.
