The last of my vintage Givenchy Gentlemen a/s

Last two WD blades I've used have been pre-blunted but I did have a few good ones when I first starting using them. Ah well, it's how it goes sometimes.
At least I'm working through my new year's shaving resolutions by actively trying to use up things that are nearly empty, like the aftershave and most of my shaving creams.

First shave with my Ever Ready featherweight recently purchased from eBay and cleaned up today. Very good shave.

Superb! The Featherweight does get a reputation for being on the mild side, but I really don't see that as a bad thing with this razor - you do get a good shave out of it, so long as you're not some hairy ape who sprouts a door mat within a couple of days.

I love the handle shape, which seems to really work for a light touch.

So, glad you enjoyed it. I love mine.

I have been using a Gem and Ever Ready 1912 and can't get enough so bought this.
I am a bit of a hairy ape and had two days growth but it gave a very close shave indeed (3 passes and a touch up though) was a bit light in the hand though but a nice shave.
Can't get enough of SE now and am on the lookout to extend the collection...

Feather blade
TOBS Sandalwood shaving cream
Kent BK12
Steve woodhead Suribachi bowl

Old Spice Champion aftershave splash

7 days of beard, ripped off my face :heart:

I have to ask... why did I buy this Club of a razor and this is why, it'll chomp through almost any thing......but a slant bar will do it better. :angel:

@chriszacharek - You'll want a Micromatic Open Comb, then for harvesting those 2-3 day crops.

Have been keeping an eye out, haven't seen one come up yet from a uk seller.

I've got one going free if you want one to play with, nothing spectacular just an old brass one.
