Welcome to Friendship Shaving. I'm shaving with a Gillette single ring safety razor, dating between 1921-28. I've always enjoyed this razor, it beautifully weighted and balanced. I'm using the Traveller shaving brush, from Truefitt and Hill lathering up with Weleda lavender shaving cream, a brand I've not really heard much about but it's a good natural product. I'll put the link below. Cheers.
