Blade: Gillette King C
Soap: Zingari Man The Rambler
Brush: Highlander TSR LE2023 Boar with Omega Professional knot
Pre-Shave: Mr Myrsol Emulsion

Notes: Tonight I swapped out the Gillette King C handle for my S1.
I found the original handle a little slippy and the change was a big improvement.
The razor is fantastic value for money and I shouldn't really be surprised because Gillette know how to design and make a first class razors, especially when the King C is paired with the King C blade.
I had a fantastic face and head shave.
Enjoy the night all.
