This razor is smooth and good for a few days' growth, but always seem to catch myself on the nick with it. Still a nice overall shave.

An opportunity to use different blades from a recent PIF

Permasharp Stainless Gillette 7 O’clock , a single plain wrapper

Very comfortable shave, no nicks or irritation.

Palmolive is a very good budget cream, plenty of lather

Brut, Love the scent and a great skin tonic

Shave Result: With triple-mill soaps I like to slice (or scrape) a small portion (about 0.5gm) of soap from the puck and press that into the bottom of my lathering bowl and add 3ml of water to bloom whilst I do my pre-shave procedure. To me the scent is a wonderful warm classical manly citrus & spicy aroma, scent strength 5/10. The Overlander & Wizamet blade gave me an awesome clean, smooth, efficient, close DFS, it’s remains my Goat-Lander DE razor & blade combo.
