Greetings,
Early morning shave...
Ive recently been having some phenomenal shaves with my humble vintage gillette tech's ,has it's been a while since i last used my vintage flat bottom tech i've gave it a long awaited outing What i personally like about the gillette tech is they are such smooth shavers, especially the earlier models, i couldn't pick my favourite, because each and everyone that i have is a joy to shave with.
However,i find the 40's & 50's models slightly more assertive depending on the blade choice i pair them up with.
A great 'all Round' de razor that every traditional wet shaver should try at least once...These classic humble razors have stood the test of time.
The Tabac soap after a few minutes blooming in tepid water created a luxurious lather in a short space of time,wetting the tips of the brush inbetween each pass without having to reload the brush to create more lather.
A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.
My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.
Stay safe & sound, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
