Greetings,
The 48r/gillette w.s. saloon pack duo, was another superb match... At the weekend i gave my de razors that i wasn't using in my sotd's this week a wash & brush-up, in warm water white vinegar/ washing up liquid solution, light scrubbing with a soft toothbrush ,rinsed then a quick rub down,with rags and Qtips..after cleaning them , i noticed my parker 87r was missing i done a quick search then realised it's been out on loan to my brother-in-law for well over a year now..I phoned to remind him, and ask for my little indian princess back, considering his had her for well over a year, he totally forgot he had it...another razor i've not gave much attention to'shame on me,'once returned, i'll have to pair her up with a gillette saloon pack, to see if it matches the performance today.
One of my favourite de blades since i started traditional de wet shave are the russian made ' gillette Sharp edge ', which perform & pair up excellently with every razor i have matched them up with, but these gilette w.s. saloon pack are very much on equal par with them, i highly recommend giving them a try, as every razor i've paired them up with have been excellent, giving me a dfs with no irritation issues...I'm not sure how many shave you'll get from each blade, as i only use a blade twice, then it's binned, due to me having a boat load of them, at a guess i would say 3-4 shaves max.
The super-max classic cream provided a nice slick protective lather for the shave, leaving a nice post shave feeling.
A very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of brut ~ attraction totale a/s lotion.
My face is feeling smooth refreshed, & smelling devine.
Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.
