Gillette Bulldog (1918)

So you go anywhere from a mild Blue Tip to the aggressive Bulldog. I have noticed you run the razor gamut for sure. Pretty amazing. Heh, I have no idea what kinda razor you prefer.

Sigh, I have one of those from 1919 which never gets wet. She wants my blood.

Greetings Martin,
I like to use all the razors in my collection. I collect to use, I'm not one for sitting them in a display cabinet.
I would say my favourites are the Single rings and ABC's always get a close smooth shave with them. I like to vary things, just the way I'am.
The milder ones take a bit more effort. I've got a Slim Twist out for the next 3 days a contrast to the Bulldog for sure :icon_rolleyes:

Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori, 7/8​

Yet another fantastic shave with this Mastro Livi CarboInox kamisori. This one has a pretty long handle and this seems to be more comfortable for my not so little hands. Deep and close like a kamisori should be, it gives the well known velvety touch of Mastro Livi Carbon Damascus steel combined to the shiny beauty of mirror polished stainless steel. The finishing touch was Pinaud Clubman, a burning flame on your face yet refreshing and enjoyable.​
