Razor: Gillette Aristocrat
Blade: Gillette Spoiler (1)
AS: Pb Artemisia
Wow! That was an impressive shave, smooth and efficient, easy BBS. I've tried the Spoiler in my Slim before but can't remember the shave being as impressive as this. The settings on this razor are not correct though as it appears that whoever reassembled the razor post replating didn't get the assembly right i.e. setting No:1 equates to approx setting No:7 on my Slim. Which is why the previous owner let it go cheap. So I run it on setting No:1 and it goes fine, but it obviously suited the Spoiler. Happy shaves (y):)

Hi @Razor Burn I was considering RR Baby Smooth after reading some really good reviews and because I was so impressed by other RR razors GC, G37, JAWS for quality at an affordable price. I also judge a razor by it's longevity and noticed the Baby Smooth had a lot of good review 3 - 5 years ago but not much since, which indicates it is no longer in rotation for most SOTD posters. How do you rate it?

I purchased the Aluminium version around a year ago as a potential daily driver but I like to rotate my razor's so it gets occasional use. It's easily fallen off most people's radar considering the recent releases of more 'premium' DE's but as a daily shaver it works really nice when paired with a sharper blade. I'm yet to have any issues with the weight and I believe @alfredus might own the Titanium version so he could provide some helpful feedback.
In all honesty It was one of those impulse buys when starting out and it's fine for a beginner but by no ways a RAD killer hence it disappearing from most people's SOTD posts.

Looks like a new tube of Proraso. What’s your style to lather with the tubes?
