Gillette New Improved Cavalier. I got this razor as part of a razor lot where I was really after two other razors. This was my first New Improved, which is really and improved Old Type. The improvement made it milder and more efficient that the Old Type. Got a comfortable two pass DFS tonight.

Nice shaves guys!
I only have one OC so I’ll be using it all month:
Fatip Grande. Paired with a Gillette Nacet, I may have gotten the closest shave I’ve had in a while, although with a touch more irritation than usual. I’ve strayed from my OC razor for a while as I’ve gotten some pretty bad shaves out of it the last few times it’s been used, but tonight has inspired me to give another chance. I’ll try to stick with this razor all month if I can!
Also used tonight were WSP Barbershop Formula T, Stirling Kong synthetic, and Razorock Blue Fougere. Good stuff!

French Mardor SE razor. This is one of the many French Hoe SE wedge blade razors that came out at the same time (and probably by the same manufacturer). It is a decent shaving razor when paired with a well honed wedge blade. It can also take a regular Gem blade. Tonight was a three pass DFS which I had to work for. Part of the problem was that the blade could have been honed better (by me).

So that Weck is the same Weck that made the Sextoblade? I always assumed it was a different Weck.
