Gillette New (1930s open comb)
Star hollow ground carbon blade (vintage)
Professor Blighty's Grapewood soap
Great lather, great soap, great smell. Four pass shave. A little sore but not bad. Quite close in the end. These were a very kind PIF from tadpole. Review sheet updated.

I'd almost forgotten what a great combo the Feather and Slant is. I find that Feathers perform admirably in my other DEs, but in the Slant they feel extra smooth. Glorious.

Very nice confortable burn free shave, however the first pass was not just as close as the yellows, as the saying goes, different blokes' different strokes.

Second shave with the R41, going great guns. No blood and after WTG and XTG had a very near BBS. I would have done a touch up but I still don't want to push my luck until I'm more used to this razor.
