The Gillette Minora was in my 1964 Gillette Adjustable today.
A very smooth shave, quite a sharp blade. Be careful it has a little bite.
The Wahl Traditional Barbers shaving cream has a strong fresh fruit/coconut scent. Its similar price to Proraso from the Shaver Shop IMO not the same quality as Proraso. A little does go a long way and produces a good lather.

There are not many things to be said for spending over 48 hours on or waiting for planes, but one is that it's so incredibly easy to score a perfect GBS in two easy passes.

The Tiger Platinum was in my 1961 Gillette FatBoy today.
2nd use today and another very smooth shave. No nicks or weepers. This is looking like a great daily shave blade. Head & face shave as always.
The Proraso Green has a strong scent of Eucalyptus & Menthol. Not to everyone’s taste, I do like the fresh menthol hit. A really refreshing start to the day.
Always guaranteed a rich silky-smooth lather with Proraso.

I don't normally care for rubbing sticks across my skin, but slicing a bit off and smooshing it in the bowl works just fine.
