    For the next 3 weeks or so I'll be on a road trip (Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia). As I'll be driving, here's my travel kit for the duration. SWMBO will be with me as we're visiting old friends, some relatives and looking at possible vacation properties. I'll have the dogs to keep me company as well. I doubt I'll be posting but will be back in the saddle late November.

    ARKO soap (small tub)
    Omega 10086 boar brush
    Either the Merkur 45 "bakelite" or the EJ DE87 razor
    Gillette 7 O'Clock blades
    Mennen Skin Bracer AS splash

    Hi Jan.
    I would love to hear more about the Wilkinson Sword Shaving System.

    More pictures too.

    I am intrigued.

    Thanks,
    Bill

    Years ago I received a blister with this system:

    [​IMG]

    According to the sticker on it, it was sold for only 37 francs (suppposedly in Belgium).
    It consists of a handle and a container with 3 blades - it is a single blade system.
    Very lightweight - works surprisingly well ...

    Thursday's Reformation Day Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Fine Snakebite Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #30RS
    TNNSER 3D Green/Black
    CVS CS SE
    CWR
    Lucky Tiger AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Fine Snakebite Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #30RS Badger Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the TNNSER 3D Green/Black razor with a CVS CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
