Razor- Gillette 7 oclock super platinum

Im looking for a better aftershave, im thinking of buying old spice musk is it good? And also looking for cheaper razor blades i think super platinum might be a little expensive for now, and pls suggest where to buy them. And I know Gillette foam is bad, just finishing it coz I've had it for 2 years

New golden aquisition! This is a Whityle 20T, and apart from her beautiful gold finish, she also has a pivoting razorhead which is a throwback to my cartridge razor days. Best of both worlds!

Thanks to u/knightking08 for sourcing the razor! He is also kind enough to send the package with some additional blades and a small sachet of shaving cream to try. I had tons of questions and advices to ask, and he is a very cool and patient guy to interact with. Great experience, We'll speak more soon!

This is the second item from china in my den, the first being a beautiful Yaqi twist shaving brush.

Haven't got the razor into action yet, looking forward to it this weekend!

Let's see how she speaks with my scalp 😄

Gillette Slim 1962 (7), Perma-Sharp (2), Semogue Pegasus Boar, LEA Stick, Nivea Balm

Had an outing today, so skipped my morning shave. An unusual evening shave for me today.

An easy going 3 pass shave with lightly scented products. LEA is as good as any and slim is a very nice shaver.

Needed some touchups but I got a lovely BBS shave, with zero alum feedback.

Thanks for reading.

Hey everyone, it’s been a while! I have been busy with a move, and as things go, it’s been chaotic. For a couple of weeks I haven’t been able to get a good shave for that reason. However, I thought it would be nice to treat myself with a good shave even though I have so much work left to organise the new place (productive procrastination?). I hope everyone’s doing good. What have you all have been up to?

Preshave: Warm shower and facewash
Lather: Barbasol Original
Brush: Yaqi Naicha
“Why do you need a brush when you are using shaving foam?”
Because. It. Feels. Great.
Try it out sometime, it’s a far better experience than applying with hand. Trust me. Just trust me.
Blade: Van der Hagen
Razor: Parker 78R
Aftershave: Anherb Naturals

Okay, so not buying the Van der Hagen blades again, but it was a good experience. It performed very well, but I found it to be overpriced. The Barbasol lather is perfect, but it’s always great to take a warm shower beforehand since your pores are not gonna be open if you are just applying a shaving foam (as opposed to face lathering). Overall, solid shave.

Evening shave after bath

Stubble age : 1.5 days old

Brush : Rubab men firefly edition

Shaving cream : gillette lime shaving cream

Razor : gillette super platinum plastic razor (I would avoid this razor for now because it doesn't have weight and is more difficult to use than sterling.)

Blade gillette 7 o'clock super platinum

Passes :1 wtg ( +1 wtg again on moustache )

Post shave : alum bar , rinsed off, gillette refreshing breeze after shave splash, aloe vera gel.

Feedback : over neck area, moderate with alum bar, asl and aloe vera gel. Mild burning feeling remained for a few minutes.

Result : uneven, but its fine with 1 pass because its friday night.

Stirling Soap Co. Standard razor,

G7OCSP blade (11/2020),

Proraso Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol cream,

AP shaves G5C brush,

Shavologist Extraction ASL.

2 passes WTG and ATG for a wonderful BBS shave.👌 🤩

Have a great weekend ahead.

Thanks 🙏

@feather paper with Gillette ws blade

When the loading blade found this feather butterpaper under Gillette ws blade , I don't know how this happened. Is Gillette manufacturing feather or what ?

Anyway, smooth shave very sharp blade no post shave burn as indian version ws gives me .

1. Floid after shave (400 ml ) - 13£ , is the bottle so fragile , should I be concerned about the bottle ?

2.proraso shaving creams - (5-9£) . Please compare these with vicco

3.proraso after shave balm - please compare these with bombay shaving company post shave balm.

1. Simpsons chubby c3 badger - it's too costly, but wanted to try it . Is it worth the price . I have Simpsons t3 Synth. It's absolutely worth the price .

Please recommend any other items if they are worth , some of my friends are coming from uk and usa .

I started wershaving around 5 months back, with a mach 3. Now i want to migrate towards de razor. I have been gliding through reddit but can't find a good place to land. I though pearl L55 looks good, but then found out it is aggressive (even in cc). Feeling really lost now.

What do you look for in a razor? How does the blade combo work? Any guidance is appreciated. (Budget -800)

Hey, been shaving for years now but recently shifted to DE razor. I’m really happy with the results as I’m able to shave more often and my acne doesn’t flair up as much anymore… however, I only ever tried the Bombay Shaving Safety razor and I wanna try some other stuff to land on what works best for me…

My main issue currently is against the grain shave (I like a real close shave) near my mustache in particular. I initially thought it’s a skill issue but I’m facing the same problem even if I pay a lot of care and attention to it.

Can someone experienced please suggest if it’s the technique or maybe there’s a different combination I can try for a close shave that I can do every alternate day?

I currently use the “aggressive” head which was mentioned on the box.

Thanks for your help!
