You know what? The actual K.C. Gillette DE blade totally reminds me of the famous "Red Personna" DE blade, which I had a long time ago. The gentleness, but still sharp enough for me. At least with my Merkur 15c.

I also got some Wilkinson classic DE blades stocked and will try again one, the next time. Of course with the Merkur 15c! But I don't expect anything, because they were never sharp enough for me.

-Merkur 15c
-K.C. Gillette DE blade
-greybadger brush
-Palmolive shave soap stick
-Tüff Herb (Red) after shave

With the discontinued Palmolive stick and Tüff Herb, it's a real old-fashioned shave. Barbershop at it's best.

-Merkur 15c
-K.C. Gillette DE blade
-greybadger brush
-Speick shave soap stick

Just fine.

No after shave, today. I just applied a nice generic body softcream.
But the good old Speick shave soap stick is still a TOP-NOTCH shave soap, I tell you! Just first class lather for best gliding.

Got a new shave soap today, I really like it. I tried their Orbit shave soap before and I really loved it, this one has a Jasmine green tea fragrance and it's really lovely.

Feather blads and 60's Gilette Aristocrat Adjustable. For being adjustable, this is the first time I actually adjusted the blade, used a more shallow angle for a more aggressive shave and it turned out well with the soap and sharp blades cutting ever so slightly closer than my usual. Will continue at this setting in the future.

Thanks for the information about the Noble Otter soap. May have to look for that and try it.
