I’m a big fan of the slim myself @HolidayReturn to classics:

I’m guessing that’s your birth year razor?
Mines the 1965 K3 slim.

I've done the same thing myself with the slim I suppose Gillette never said "this is the greatest shave of all time"
But mate they sold a heap of them.
Cheer.

Monday Evening 24/02/25
Fantastic shave this evening with the Impero open comb I picked up this one from connaughtshaving.com for under $60 delivered.
Its only my second time using this razor and I was very impressed.
The first shave with the razor was actually my first time using a razor of this weight as I have up until recently only used
Gillette's and valets with the exception of a few others.
On shave 1 I was put off by the weight being much heavier than what I was used to.
This time I let the razor do the work it effortlessly and super smoothly took of a 3 day growth the Voskhod was well suited to this razor.
1 pass WTG/AGT done no touch ups and no skin irritation at all.
The Proraso Azur Lime is part of Proraso premium range the lather was thick and strong with good cushioning
with a great scent during the shave defiantly recommended.
Hope you have a great shave.
Cheers.

Wonderful JNat edge on Yasuki steel made for a superb shave!
So that’s how he makes money for all those Japanese razors. And stones. And all those lovely soaps. And ….Just occasionally, I have an idle browse on "that other site", and just spotted a really excellent post there: Silverlifter's Surefire System for Superb shaves. You must, I believe, be the same Silverlifter who graces the North Atlantic site? I understand if you feel you might be casting pearls before piglets in these benighted Antipodes, but do share...
Maybe, but P&C doesn't have all those silly rules prohibiting mentioning other forums (fora). Or just about anything else for that matter...So that’s how he makes money for all those Japanese razors. And stones. And all those lovely soaps. And ….

TUESDAY SHAVE
Had an awesome two pass BBS shave with this amazing gear today. The Razor was a fantastic Zamak offering which was smooth as silk, the blade sharp enough and very forgiving. The Israeli iconic shaving cream was the surpise package as it provided amazing cushion and glide. The Shavologist extraction was on par with some of the best popular brands I have used and soothing for the skin. The Brush had some scritch for sure but is a non shedder which worked well to generate a rich lather, love the handle too. All this for just for 26.60 AUD which is approximately 17 USD.
Safety Razor - Ricardo Open Comb by Roamer-7 (India) - 5.50 AUD
Blade - Gillette Wilkinson Sword Saloon Pack (India) - 0.10 AUD
Shaving Cream - MEM (Israel) - 4.00 AUD
Brush - Shaving Shack - The Guvnor 23mm Best Badger (United Kingdom) - 8 AUD
Post Shave - EXTRACTION Eau De Cologne by Shavologist (India) - 9 AUD

Did your wife kick you out of the house, and into the doghouse?

I've always been broke Buddy, it's only cause of rich mates like you that I get to try some premium stuff.
Not yet, but training for the day she does, have stored some vintage 11 month old moonshine, a few Twisties dipped in Vegemite and some leftover Ham from Christmas 2019 there. When I move in, you are invited to the party.

Speedster, you are the honorary guest at the 'Doghouse Warming Party.' Have set aside my own paper napkins to wipe up the mess after it. Billy can hold on to his.
