A close shave but this is a razor I do have to concentrate with - unlike, say, a Weber. Still on a learning curve with it; it's the least forgiving of any Gillette TTO I've tried. Any Gillette at all, in fact.
Me too. I used a light touch and took longer and got a not very close shave, on edge the whole time. Really wanted it to work for me.dodgy said:Burgundy said:Gillette Aristocrat #15

That's one razor I really wanted to love. Great looking piece that felt solid in my hand, but had just a little bit too much bite for me. Tried a number of different blades but no go.
I keep hearing from guys saying they can get a good shave with any razor......sounds like fiction to me.

Prep: Hot shower
Razor: 1904 Ever Ready SE
Blade: Gem
Brush: Niva extra large Boar
Soap: Arko
A/S: Pitralon Pure
Balm: Simpsons
First time with SE, given to me by a very good friend. Fairly easy and straightforward To find the angle, given the audible clue!
Enjoyable shave, BBS with three passes and touch ups (I always get my best shaves after two days of growth)
Pitralon Gave a nice warm glow with no sting. First try with Simpson Balm, soaked in well with no greasy feel.
Enjoy your evening chaps!
