Thanks Wayne, the razor was, is a fat handled tech which were always on the mild side, it was just altered so the blade could be locked in place other than that it's a fat handled tech. I suppose the fitting of a shim would change it a little but the fun part for me was using a asylum / prison razor from the 50s and I thank you for that.Hi Paul,
I have just ordered the L'Occitane Cade aftershave as I love the scent.
As far as the Razor is concerned, (you are always more than welcome, ) would I be right in assuming that Gillette developed this razor on the "mild" side due to the people in question who would be using it?
Just a thought.
Anyway have a lovely weekend,
Wayne
Thanks for the tag...Enjoy the gig later..Regards.Sotd - Saturday 24/6 - inspired by @Palmolive fox

Razor - Gibbs no.15 (3)
Blade - Gillette 7 O'clock green (1)
Brush - Stirling fan
Soap - Tabac
Post - Witch hazel
A/S - Tabac
Balm - Aloe vera gel.
Result - Great, I enjoyed that. Fairly new to the Tabac soap but it's rapidly becoming a favourite. Scent and performance are top notch for me. The Gibbs is a remarkably good shaver. Its diminutive size belies how well it sits in my - quite big - hands. There is a real heft and a lovely balance to it. It's no hassle to modify a blade to fit it. The Stirling fan is a match for any hard soap. It's a steal for the price. A splash of Tabac aftershave and some aloe vera gel and I'm good to go. Smelling nice, relaxed and smooth. What's not to like? I need to go out later and thankfully I remembered that The Stone Roses are playing nearby tonight (top of the bill with Steve Mason and Primal Scream no less - impressive,) so I need to mentally prepare for lots of flashback inducing 90's clothing, phony Manc accents and people walking in a silly fashion. Mad'ferit, mad'ferit.... Enjoy your shaves - cheers - I.

I will clean and get this little peice of history back to you next week.
Enjoy what's left of the weekend mate.
