Monday
Last week I received a Gillette 1955 Blue Tip and after some cleaning I'd gave it a try this morning.
So, I put a new Gillette 7 O'çlock Green blade in the Blue Tip and got to it.
Gillette 1955 Blue Tip razor + Gillette 7 O'clock Green blade
EJ Silvertip
Proraso PreShave cream
Essence of Scotland Mountain Yew (glycerin soap)
Bluebeard Revenge Aftershave
I know the Blue Tip is a very smooth razor, but didn't expect it to be this smooth. During the second pass, I really tried to get a nick or cut, but no matter what I did it wasn't possible. I even think the Blue Tip is more forgiving then the EJ DE89L.
The shave result is neutral. It surely wasn't one of my best shaves. Tomorrow I'll put a Feather blade in the Blue Tip and will try it again.
