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.
minus-squaredjundjilaMAlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 months agoNice 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.
minus-squaregcgallantlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 months agoIt 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.
