Cheers, Alfie. It lathers like a champ - destroys hard soaps.

...(if I can’t get a two pass shave out of a DE razor I don’t rate it too. Highly This is my opinion only of course).

In times past (when I used DE razors), I might have agreed (my blade preference being for Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow and German Wilkie), but now that I have more time on my hands (having taken early retirement) I enjoy taking 3 passes plus touch-ups with the GEM blades and the Atelier Durdan Vestige. A Rolls-Royce shave winning no races, but leaving my hide feeling perfect.

On days when I have some pressing engagement (shudder) the WR4 0.7 and a Proline offer a perfect Ferrari shave with no accidents.

I’m looking forward to that time myself in the future.
You couldn’t have summed it up better. @Gargravarr .
