My friend called me this morning for advice on how to DE shave, he has been given a Gillette Adjustable from the estate of a family friend. I have provided detailed instructions and sent him along to Boots for a pack of Wilkinsons and a styptic pencil . He's been using a boar brush and cream or soap for a good ten years.

Just an FYI that after having owned & used several old Gillette adjustables that I recommend a complete teardown & deep clean/sanitization as I have done as such AFTER repeated ultrasonic cleanings that did not remove all the years of accumulated sh#@ deep in the "guts" of the razor. I'm talking about stuff that would gag a hound on a gut wagon.
The boots brand DE blades (personnas apparently) are great and are much more forgiving than the wilkys in my experience.
Also you get 10 for the price of 5 wilkys
Have a look at the Slim for him and check that the bars and doors are straight.
