Razor: ΑΛΦΑ Claymore Evolution
Blade: Schick Proline

Same as yesterday. Incidentally, I discovered today that Thayer's witch hazel in its expansion onto every supermarket shelf has almost completely crowded out TND. I had to go to 7 shops before I could find any TND.

SaltLake soap makes a reliable medium density creamy lather and gives excellent performance, a great economical Aussie soap. I added 6 drops of scent oil to the lather build, scent is a complex fresh citrus (orange) floral woody aroma, medium scent strength. The Fatip Gentile gave smooth and easy going shave with mildish aggression with just a bit of blade feel.

Luckily this ra,or takes a slightly wider blade and the Wilkinson Sword wedge fits perfectly. The adjustment is made using two screws which move the two sprung blade stops. A great smooth mild shave today.

Great razor @Sticky. Do you know the approximate age. It seems in very good condition. I'm glad to hear the Pall Mall blade works so well. Bonus, two excellent razors :)

Thanks, it is in great condition. From memory the last patent date is about 1903 so only about 120 years old.
