A vintage Gillette Aluminium Tech - Made in England

Gillette: 1951 Aluminium Tech - Yaqibrush: Aqua - Martin de Candré: Agrumes

This week's shave stars a vintage travel/grooming set which cost me £15 and is immaculate; it includes an English made, three piece Aluminium Tech Gillette razor, dated 1951. This is the first time I've used this razor, or one like it, and it turns out to be the star of the show. It is another terrific English made Gillette.

The brush is my Yaqi Aqua, with a 24mm synthetic tuxedo knot. I like this one; it is a little chunky and very comfortable to hold and I love the blue resin handle.

The shaving soap is a sample envelope of the Agrumes handmade soap from Martin de Candré. It is very lightly scented with lemon, grapefruit and bergamot essential oils and provides a clean, somewhat medicinal scent. I do like this soap from MdC but, once again, for a lot less money, there are better soaps on the market. However, there is something I really like about the MdC soap. I can't explain it!
