I've just finished my second shave with the Gillette Platinum. I'm finding it a fine blade! Seems to be a common theme with the PPI blades.05/05/19
Soap - Cella
Brush - Omega 80265
Razor - Ball End Tech
Blade - Gillette Platinum (4)
Post - Witch Hazel
Balm - Nivea Cooling
AS - Benjamin's Bay Rum Mentholated
I couldn't quite believe my eyes today, I finished the 50g sample of Cella with my shave today! A soap I really enjoyed using, but I don't think I will buy any more to replace it.
A continued run out with the Ball End Tech and Gillette Platinum, a great combination and the blade seems to be as good on it's 4th as it was on it's 1st shave - great blade so far.

What a great looking brush!Sunday 5th May
Cadman Custom Synth - Wickham 1912 'Apricus' - Ever Ready 1914 - GEM SSC #10 - Alum - Wickham 1912 'Apricus' ASB
First use of my May acquisitions.
The Apricus soap and Balm are part of the Wickham's LE 2019 group buy
The soap was lovely. The scent is a homage to Dior's Eau Savage, and is an absolute delight, with a great citrus/floral hit. What really impressed me was the superb slickness.
The 1914 with a GEM blade on it's 10th outing was really efficient, so I'm left extremely clean shaven.
Now, I normally finish a shave with an alcohol based AS followed by a moisturiser. So the use of Wickham's ASB turned into a new experience. And I'm delighted. It's very soothing and not at all sticky. The scent is amazing. So overall I'm a really happy chappy.

Thanks. My one and only custom brush. I've had it for 4 years. Made by the very talented Mervyn Cadman. He kindly set a birth year farthing in the base.What a great looking brush!
I know exactly what you mean! I think 5he lack of variety would be boring though.I'm really liking the Gillette Platinum so far, it's very smooth and just sharp enough - a really forgiving blade, probably the smoothest of the PPI blades I have used but YMMV as ever.
I've not come across a bad PPI blade, they all seem to be excellent. Even though I own a lot of them I still seem to use a lot of alternatives, often inferior in the shave and often I'm not entirely sure why I continue to try other blades! Such is the way of the shaving bug!
