Thank you, I appreciate the advice.

Hi there, I've been on a very similar journey and also bought one of those Wilkinson's. Both it and the Gillette Tech are very mild. They are likely to give a good shave but struggle with more than a days growth. I would recommend adding a Gillette New from the 1930s. Loads of them on eBay. Will give a very different closer shave.
Stick with it!

What appears to be a vintage Simpsons "23 Best Badger" NOS still sealed in cellophane (not anymore ) presumably made for someone else hence lack of branding - Happy to be told otherwise if you know better. Also got a potassium palmate puck of Floris No.89.

Signature Soap samples from the generous @BrianH and the Yaqi Purple Haze Mew Brown:

I've also got the the dscosmetics soft synthetic on its way (via a torturous international route) as I'm keen to compare the three 'G4' types.

Can't thank Steve enough - absolutely fantastic quality and craftsmanship.
All knots washed/test lathered and they perform beautifully....

Highly recommended!
