Williams Wednesday

Good morning!

Awesome shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Silent alum.

Decided on a Williams Wednesday shave. A properly molested puck of Williams provided a thick, slick, stable lather. The Blue Tip has a narrow angle of attack, but maintain that angle and it shaves as close as any razor I own. Finished with Aqua Velva Ice Blue that I picked up from Walgreens the other day while buying tape for the wife's toes. I am clean, fresh and ready for another day.

Have a great day!

Nice shave and cool watch, Keith. I hope the business trip goes well for you.

 

You're talking about Arko, I am talking about Castle Forbes Lime.

 

Thanks, Gary.

 

Thanks Terry.

Thank you, Danny.

Thanks Jason. I'm determined to finish this bottle of Clubman. I'm not sure the drain could take it in full strength.

 

Nice shave, Neal...should have bloomed the Williams.

 

Terry, Orient Bambinos are solid watches and provide good value. They're offered in several different styles. They hand wind and also wind automatically by your wrist movement. https://www.longislandwatch.com/search_results_a/258.html?search=bambino

I have a vintage Bulova hand winding dress watch; otherwise, I'd consider getting a Bambino. You can often find these old watches in antique shops at good prices. Often, all they need is a new strap. Mine belonged to my Bride's Dear Uncle. It wasn't in great shape, so I had it restored. It is from my birth year. I wouldn't take a vintage watch like this one anywhere near water, though.

 

Thanks Charlie
I'll look around that site.

Nice shave Neil
I don't bloom, drown, or otherwise do anything to my soaps anymore.
They still work the same.

Nice shave Jim
Blue tips are nice.
Hope your wife's toe gets better, I hate walking around with a sore toe.
What do you do to your William's to get it to lather??

You're on your own, Terry. I can't talk right now.

 

I just got out of the corner....
Well....
I only had to write it 20 times.

Hang in there Chris.

It takes a little more to get my attention, Terry. The Dunce Cap is really doing a number on my hair. And then, well, there's @Edison Carter...

 

Very nice Gary.

My wife picked up the TOBS brush, 2 creams and a shave soap as a surprise in London. You’re right I was within 1 km of Myrsol and skipped it along with BSB and Romera. I did buy some La Toja shave sticks and cream but that was it.
