The Wickham produced a surfeit of lather with this floppy brush.
Had a go with this Astra 501 clone from the eighties which I bought a year or two ago but remember finding it unpleasant to shave with. Thought I'd give it another go.
It feels scrapey at any angle but is quite mild so requires a few passes to get a decent shave. This mildness is something I prefer as long as the experience is pleasant. But it wasn't particularly enjoyable. No irritation and a close result in the end but the sides of the blade overhang the razor head and I ended up with a small cut on my cheek.
Rating: 3 / 5
Razor: TOCHP Utro
Blade: London Bridge Modern
Brush: Henkverhaar (TSR) badger brush Walnut Silvertip
