  • Brush: Wild West Brushworks Deep Pearl 26mm Sweet Spot Badger
  • Razor: Gillette Super Adjustable 109 (Black Beauty) Gold O-4 (setting: 5)
  • Blade: Wilkinson Sword Black (2)
  • Lather: Faena - Taurus - Soap
  • Post Shave: Fabergé - Brut - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This is my first time using the gold Black Beauty. Very enjoyable. My second time using Taurus. This is a great soap.

Nice looking black beauty! It's a bit tricky to see from this perspective, is this the short handle version?

I have a P3 Black beauty (just 3 quarters younger than yours) and it is probably my favourite Gillette.

It is the long-handle 109 mm version. The gold ones were limited and released around Father's Day in the US for gifts as I understand it.

Nice, that long handle version is fantastic!
