Indian / Pakistani made blades are becoming my go to blades with my vintage Gillette's.. The Lancet Super Platinum is another blade i've had for a while, but have yet to try due to reaching out for my accustomed favourites .I''ll have add them to my blade rotation for future shaves.7/7/20

I've owned my Old Type for a few years now and it's a razor I seem to neglect, I sometimes find it either a bit too mild or a bit too aggressive, depending on the choice of blade or down to using the angle. Today from the very start I effectively rode the top cap and with this blade the first pass was one of the most exceptional first passes I've had for a while, really smooth and efficient, the 2nd pass wasn't as good down to losing concentration a little and applying a bit too much pressure.
Great shave though.
Have a good day gents.
Indeed I did, Paul. Had a few spare wilkie wrappers lying around for just such an opportunity.Love those blades, thats a better way of storing them, I've had old blades stick themselves together like that, a propper pain! Did you wrap each blade in a paper blade wrap before putting in the Willkie box?

Just the job! I've only got two 74s left, one fresh and one with 20 shaves on it!Indeed I did, Paul. Had a few spare wilkie wrappers lying around for just such an opportunity.
