Hi all,
Another great shave today with the Gillette red tip Super speed. This is my favourite of the super speed line up.
This one has the end caps missing which doesn’t affect the razor at all.
Don’t get me wrong all the Super speeds have their own merits, but this one suits me best.
As we all have our own preferences when using vintage and modern razors.
The Catie’s bubbles soap was okay. This is the second time I’ve used it.
I found it dried out too quickly again even though I put more soap in the bowl this time and hydrated it more.
I must say it’s not my favourite soap.
One pass WTG/AGT done.
No touch-ups no nicks.
Cheers.
