Blade - Gillette 7 O'Clock Permasharp Stainless
Post - Lea Balm
AS - Old Spice
This blade is a sharp one. I think it might be one of the sharpest blades I have ever used, it's up there with the PPI Nacet for sure.
It bit me in a slightly more assertive razor for yesterday's shave (RFB New) but was just right in today's Old Type. First class combination in this razor, face is smooth as glass at the end of the shave.
I think this Gillette blade is one of the better blades they make but seems to go under the radar, not really sure why tbh.
Finished the shave with a little too much Old Spice. Enough for about 3 shaves fell into my hands so I splashed on nonetheless. I think I will be smelling of this glorious splash tomorrow morning...

Face, neck, back of neck, chest and a little pat on top of head. That's how to do it properly and you do need a good splash to do so.

I’ve been after a short handled “Black Beauty” in good/excellent condition for quite a while. I managed to secure a mint condition, possibly unused one off The Bay a few weeks ago, for a very good price.
Used for the first time last night, and it shaves every bit like a Slim. Which is to say, excellently.
It feels slightly more sturdy and weighty than a Slim, and makes a great addition to my small collection of vintage razors.
For something this classic, I had to pair it with my Shulton Old Spice soap.
Which after seven or so years occasional use, is getting towards the end.
Excellent shave. Enjoy yours gents.
