Next week's blade looks to be the Russian-made Gillette Silver Blue blade.
#GILLETTE SILVER BLUE VS PLATINUM SKIN#
My latest prototype shave soap, #10C, continues to give a great shave without the drying effects of some other soaps, and has no added fragrance or unnatural ingredients to irritate the skin or the olfactory.Īs we enter heating season, I am coming to like a Noxzema cleansing-cream face wash post shave, which leaves a subtle, protective-feeling coating on my skin as well as a fragrance that I've come to like. The durability of the blade is not as good as some other blades reviewed in previous weeks: still sharp but shaving a bit harshly b y the end of the week perhaps due to degradation of the blade's coating. I got close comfortable shaves that were initially among the best I've had. The Gillette 7 O'clock Super Platinum blade right out of the wrapper is a good one in my favored razors for my skin and beard. I did use the Merkur 15C open comb razor head for Friday's shave. The shaves this week were mostly with the Merkur 33C razor head, either paired with the factory handle or a heavier, third-party handle. That is, pre-shave prep was limited to splashes of cool water on my beard, cool water brush soak, a shave soap, and a cool-tap-water shave. Unless otherwise specified, all shaves this week were with my minimalist beard preparation. Reminiscent of high-quality, but lower-density soft-serve ice cream.įragrance free, it is formulated for those with sensitive skin and Other variables in my week-long blade-evaluation shaves often include different shave soaps and post-shave skin treatments.Īll-natural shave soap #10C whips to a slick creamy consistency The handles that I pair with these razor heads are either the stock factory handle or a fatter, heavier handle from a currently-discontinued Maggard MR3B razor. Shaving gear must be chosen with care, which is why I use Merkur razor heads (the 33C mostly but also the 15C) as my main instruments. It's challenging to get a close, comfortable shave. Reminder about my skin type: I have very sensitive, thin skin, somewhat loose (on the neck when shaving cross grain), with lots of angles and dips - paired with a moderately tough beard.
