Gillette New #77/#88
Schick Ultra Platinum (2)
Vie Long 13061
Proraso green tub (old)
Proraso Balsamo dopobarba
Penhaligon's Castile
Brand new to me razor that I traded with a forum member in user grade condition. It's had a vinegar bath and a nice scrub with toothpaste but, really, it needs stripping and replating. Still, it shaves reasonably. Not as aggressive as my Old Type open comb but not as terrifying either as the blade isn't anywhere near as exposed. I'm enjoying the Vie Long too. Rather than scrubbing away in circular motions, it seems to respond best by painting the lather on while face lathering.
