The WS classic , for me personally is a wonderful razor that can be made efficient with the right blade choice , it's perfect for everyday shaving and a great travel razor...Every wet shaver should have one of these 'Classic' in-expensive DE razors.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Brut ~ Attraction Totale A/S Lotion.

~SOTD~

Shower, Valbora Glicerlanolina Soap
Blackland Dart
Vintage Gillette Super Stainless (the Spoiler)
Penhalligon's Bayolea Shave Soap
Thater Silvertip
Thayers
Penhaligon's Bayolea edt

A fantastic Sunday shave was had today, the blades were kindly gifted to me by @TomG all the way from Australia, thanks Tom. I now know why they were also known as "the Spoiler", Man these blades are good. I'm sure they work as well in all razors but it was as if the blade was made for the Dart, what a shave!
The Penhaligons Bayolea shave soap was worked into a great lather and it had a good strength of the Bayolea scent that i used at the end of my shave.
A BBS finnish and smelling great, what more could I ask.

I hope the weather is better where you are, steady rain all morning so far!

It's hard to fault the performance of Cella, as it is the Aussie Spoiler blades. I dialled the Fatboy down so as to enjoy a relaxed, and relaxing, three pass shave. Have a great day gents.

Sun 26th Aug
RazoRock Syn.24mm
P & B Spitfire
ATT SE-G-- modded base plate
Gem S/S [ 4 ]
Tuff Red A/S Lotion

Today had my 4th consecutive Shave with the ATT SE-G, which thanks to the efforts of Paul @Blademonkey now works as an efficient Razor, as intended by ATT ? [ IMHO they failed ]

Really enjoyed a leisurely Shave today, and as I took my time not only was the Shave smooth and comfortable,
but the all round finish was ultra close too. Now this Razor thanks to Paul is a good Daily Shaver, and with ease eradicates my quite tough beard, and so far no mishaps nor has the shaving process caused any irritation or soreness. I do have unfortunately have to return the base plate, but Paul has kindly offered to sort out mine. I look forward to that as I will be able to use the Razor in my rotation. I can see it giving the Streamline a run for its money.
