Razor: ‘72 Gillette Super 84 Adjustable @7
Blade: Astra SP, PPI (5)
Soap: Arko stick
A/S: Pinaud Clubman

I have had a Super 109 for a while and didn’t quite get along with it. Didn’t like the combination of a long, skinny handle and a very top-heavy balance, which may have made it harder to keep the right angle. I like long handles on other razors, but they are all heavy stainless steel or brass so the balance is more even.

This shorter handle version is perfect. A lot easier to use (for me). Definitely a keeper.
