High praise for the Ach Brito Paul , that good ?Sunday 6th December
Soap - Ach Brito Mogno
Brush - Simpson Trafalgar T3
Razor - King C Gillette
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue (1)

I bought the King C Gillette razor out of curiosity and used it for the first time today.
First impressions were that it's quite weighty and appears to be quite well made.
The head, as mentioned by others, looks to be very similar to that of a DE89/R89.
With only a little over 36 hours growth I face lathered with Ach Brito Mogno soap - (this is without a doubt one of the best soaps I have used, at ANY price point.)
First pass down, and I could tell the Gillette razor hadn't removed as much stubble as my regular, (much more expensive) razors.
The second pass, WTG was completed in perfect comfort, leaving more touch ups required than I am used to.
The end result was very good just about all over BBS - almost on par with razors I use in (sporadic) rotation.
All in all, the King C Gillette is worth the £13.33 I paid for it, and at full price £20 is still a fair deal.
I'm gonna get ya, Satan get ya'

Thank you PaulHi Russ
Yes, the soap really is 'all that'
Scent wise, it's described as woody and aquatic, which seems like a contradiction but it smells really nice - a truly masculine scent.
Performance is faultless. It's able to handle a fair amount of water. It's easy to lather too.
Cushion, protection, glide, residual slickness and post shave feel are all in abundance.
You'll have seen that it comes as a bar, intended for use like a shave stick, and used that way it's easy to use, but I like it that much that I grated and pressed it in to the ceramic dish.
For under £5 it's my best bargain buy of the year by a country mile.
