Whityle 20T + Gillette Silver Blue halved #1 - RazoRock Plissoft + Tabac Stick + Williams Aqua Velva AS + Aloe Vera Gel
Received the razor yesterday from AliExpress and was originally disappointed. The blade loading was very fiddly and the bottom blade wasn't lying true. I tried the Euromax ½ blades. So I tried again with a snapped GSB and it was originally similar to the Euromax. After numerous tries, I discovered that careful alignment is needed.
The shave saved the day. I'm surprisingly shocked and rather pleased. It was silky smooth and effortless. An got an excellent close result, with no response to the post alum or aftershave.
A definite keeper.

What is the world coming to? Fish now have fingers and aftershave splashes have legs. This is all very Terry Pratchett...
