Wednesday Morning 16/07/2025
I had a great shave this morning with a classic Gillette whether you like it or not the Slim adjustable is an iconic razor.
Following immediately after it’s more famous older cousin the $1.95/Fatboy adjustable.
As far as I can tell on close inspection the adjustable head is the same on both models. (My opinion only)
Although the plating is of better quality on the $1.95/Fatboy.
As far as which one I prefer shave wise.
I would pick the slim purely because the longer handle is a bit easier for me to manoeuvre.
The razor on setting seven worked very well with the Wizamet blade.
Like all adjustable razors , the settings are up to the individual to work out what suits them best.
One pass WTG/ATG with a couple of touchups.
No nicks no worries.
Finished off nicely with the classic 4711 aftershave splash.
Cheers.

High point of a grim winter morning...
I normally only use synthetics to load and lather my milled soaps, but this well broken-in little piggywig does a creditable job. My big badger is still hopeless for this.

Gillette Aristocrat, niceShave away from home today so face lathering for me.
This is starting to become one of my favourite soaps, and the scent is phenomenal
