Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another fantastic shave this morning. Returned to Martin De Candre and their excellent "Nature" shave soap. Light, soapy scent with phenomenal lather built with the Paladin PK-47 2-Band Select Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '59 Gillette Fatboy and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by Chanel "Platinum Égoïste" aftershave lotion & EdT.

Hope you have a great day.

Friday Evening 24/01
Razor : Gillette Aristocrat 1946 (first version of this model)
Blade : Gillette Nacet (1).
Brush : B&B Synthetic Chubby.
Soap : Catie's Bubbles (Le Marche Du Rasage).
Balm/Toner : TN Dickinson's Witch Hazel.
Weight : 66 grams.
Hi all,
A good shave tonight with the Gillette Aristocrat I won't say its the best shave from a Gillette TTO.
In my opinion they still had a way to go in this area if your into Gillette's its shave similar to a regular
40s to 50s Super Speed (mildish).
So with this in mind I loaded it with a Nacet blade and yes their very sharp.
One pass WTG and ATG and a bit of a touch up Done.
I had a bit of skin irritation after I think this was because its a milder razor with a very sharp blade and trying
to get smoother close shave (trying a bit to hard).
The Witch Hazel fixed me up in no time.
the Catie's Bubbles soap was good and the scent is very nice.
Only thing was the lather didn't last long on my face.
All in all another descent shave.
Cheers.
