    The plating on these pre-war gillettes is a gold wash with shellac on top. The shellac is delicate and the gold wash is far thinner than an electroplate finish. $250 is a crazy price, imo, unless it is in NOS condition. They are very nice shavers though. I would not use any force with this razor. It is not a mild shaver, though not extremely aggressive either. I have a hard time imagining you screaming, or hooting and hollering and dancing around. That would give the cats something to think about.

    A very nice shave Don and another interesting razor from the past. So nice to see people using Old New Stock and razors I have never heard of. Tabac is great I just love it. I had cream and did not enjoy its scent for some reason so I piffed it to someone. You and Sarge take care and look forward to seeing a garden and flowers video soon :)

    That's a very nice razor - especially for the price. the handle is a Bulldog - like an HD but longer. I used to use mine a lot. but I haven't reached for it in a while. I will have to rectify that soon. I've never used the Clubman Pinaud foam, but have a tub of soap, and it's nice. The aftershave is the one I use the most.

    You use a pre-shave oil quite often, instead of a cream. Do you prefer the oils? I have only been using only Proraso for 20+ years. I do have a 500G container of 3P, too, but have not opened it.

    Neat razor! I use DE safety razors, but if I need a shave and yet don't really feel like shaving, I will use a brushless cream like Cremo and a Harry's cartridge razor. Sometimes one needs a break from the time it takes to make lather and do a three pass. Nothing to feel bad about.

    Nice! I love using Proraso foams- (I have all versions) and Figaro Classic, Noxzema (red). They are wonderfully scented and comfortable to use especially with a preshave as you've done. Gillette charcoal foam is nicely vanilla kind of scented and works very well. Sometimes the brush is too harsh for my sensitive skin, that became like that as a side effect of the medicaments I have to take, so I use the foam quite often or put the shaving cream using just my hands. Works nice with Merkur 42C, which is very mild, Gillette Mach 3, Gillette Skinguard Sensitive which I enjoy as well. Greetings from Jarek G!
