Thanked: 127Experimentation Day today as i used an Tang-Less French Razor from the 1860s and an old French Razor from the 1870s, both are some kind of special and i still have to learn, especially the Tang-Less Razor is nearly 7/8 and aboz 2 1/2 oz heavy so its a bit tricky to handle.

RAZOR - Ali's Blade 9/8
Well, I've been using a DE Feather for the past couple of weeks. But today i had the extra time needed to enjoy a slower yet more civilized shave with a straight.
So i picked the largest beast i own and it turned out not only BBS, but I felt very relaxed and in a pleasant mood by shaves end.

Thanked: 599Thank you! It's one of my favorite Gillette DE razors, and I especially like the "barber-pole" knurling on its handle. It's a two-piece razor: the handle and blade-guard are a single unit; twisting the handle loosens/tightens the removable top, clamping the blade. For a 99-year-old razor, it's in lovely condition. I debated whether to include the razor box in my SOTD photo (it's creamy ivory-colored plastic, with a purple padded lining and matching twin "ivory" blade containers). And yes, I find it to be eminently "user friendly"! :-)
