SOTD Monday 16/9/2024 Evening (1930-39)
  • Razor Gillette New Long Comb
  • Blade Astra Platinum (3)
  • Pre-Shave Hot Shower
  • Brush B&B Chubby
  • Soap Catie's Bubbles Purple Grapefruit
  • Post Shave Cold Water Rinse
Good shave this evening I will stop short of saying great as it was the first time using this razor.
I only have the long comb head so can't compare to the short comb at this time.
Also shave three with the blade with most other Gillette's 2nd shave is the charm for me with Astra blades.
This razor was Gillette's first attempted to accommodate the new blade designed by Henry J Gaisman. (Valet Auto Strop Company)
This got Gillette into a lot of trouble but luckily they won a law suit.
As a mater of fact Henry J Gaisman company (Valet) and Gillette merged to resolve the law suit.
When King Camp Gillette died Henry J Gaisman took control of the company and as they say the rest is history.

(Big Big thanks to Bladerunner7 who I acquired the razor and soap from Cheers Mate)

Cheers all

SOTD – Thu.19SEP2024​

Shave Result: Blue Devil is an awesome soap base for both lather quality and performance. To me the scent has a fresh Lemongrass & Ginger forward aroma with a background of Wood, I really enjoy this blend, scent strength was 7/10. The Fatip razor head does have a bit of play in the pins so blade alignment can be fiddly at times, however, once blade aligned it shaves smoothly and efficiently.
