Thanks. It's my all time favorite vintage razor.
In times past (when I used DE razors), I might have agreed (my blade preference being for Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow and German Wilkie), but now that I have more time on my hands (having taken early retirement) I enjoy taking 3 passes plus touch-ups with the GEM blades and the Atelier Durdan Vestige. A Rolls-Royce shave winning no races, but leaving my hide feeling perfect.
On days when I have some pressing engagement (shudder) the WR4 0.7 and a Proline offer a perfect Ferrari shave with no accidents.

I’m looking forward to that time myself in the future.
You couldn’t have summed it up better. @Gargravarr .

Lovely selection of hardware and software, and a nice photo to boot! A fantastic soap, and the matching cologne.
