Hi, thanks for pointing it out...I was just following what the seller informed me way back in early 2020. Perhaps it is a Goodwill only...here's the picture...Um,... they never made a "Gillette Empire Goodwill". You have a New LC with a ball end handle which could be a Goodwill if it has the diamonds, but that's not an Empire handle.

This afternoon -
razor - Vector (on loan)
blade - Feather Pro (8)
brush - Stirling two-band fan
soap - P&B Solaris
post - witch hazel
a/s - Floid mentally vigorous
balm - Floid
scent - Gotas Frescas Hombre.
The Solaris has lost pretty much all of its scent - which is fair enough, it's old - the soap base is fine though. The situation - the lack of scent - is somewhat ironic as I only dug the P&B soaps out to see if the Star Noir still stinks of ammonia - it does. I wondered if the passage of some five odd years had had any positive effect. Nope - still smells like a tom cat pissed in the tub yesterday. An unfortunate incident both for the company and the consumer - I ended up with two 'contaminated' tubs. I wish P&B no harm and am happy they appear to be thriving and are still innovating but I haven't felt the need to buy anything from them since. I should imagine most reading this will have no idea what I am talking about. Selah - I.
Today's SOTD including the theme 'A Brazilian shave'

Brazil just doesn't have girls who produce punk/metal better than this. From Brazilians to Beavers
I don't think it's a closeness thing - it's a chemical type burn I've had with other scented soaps that haven't agreed with me. Different to the razor burn type feeling.Boycie, the Dead Sea soap is the twin of Santa Maria del Fiore Sapone Da Barba as I am sure you knew and is easily one of the top five non-tallow soaps that I have ever used (#1 being Sudsy Soapery). Perhaps the irritation is because you shaved too close?
Yep, nickel plated Goodwill based on the New LC, should be a pretty nice shaver.Hi, thanks for pointing it out...I was just following what the seller informed me way back in early 2020. Perhaps it is a Goodwill only...here's the picture...

And it's all natural, Earth friendly, biodegradable, and renewable,... go green, kill a pig!It was said in jest, although I've heard of shaving with lard or "Crisco" and it's supposedly a superb alternative to shaving soap, just messy to clean up after.
