    I have a stick I made from modern Williams. I keep it in a tin like that. I also have 3 vintage Williams shave sticks now and a vintage colgate stick.

    Are you going to try the blades? I have 3 ancient ones here that came with a razor purchase and never got around to trying one yet.

    Razor 1: Lupo Dual Comb .95 SB Side only
    Razor 2: Yates Precision H Plate
    Blade 1: Astra SP (2)
    Blade 2: Wizamet (?)
    Brush: Rubberset 400 Oumo Boar
    Soap: Vintage Williams
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Vintage Aqua Velva
    Fragrance: Nautica Blue

    1st off the lather was menthol enhanced with some 444 Balm Cream that is mentholated. Great cooling Williams lather set the stage for the comparing of 2 razors. I'm joining Gary @brit in a mini focus on Williams. Wish I could use it all week but want to continue the 1508.5 project for the year. I have 3017'd a Williams before but will be back to every other day for the week.

    So I wanted to do a comparison shave and please understand that these are subjective and not a perfect test as you can tend to shave more strokes where you sense you need to to get the end result you are hunting and therefore it's not a perfect test to compare efficiency. I wanted to see if both razors would get me the same end result without irritation. The result "for me" was I got an extremely close shave the way I like. The Yates is the High polished one which I feel may have increased it's efficiency some but also made it not as mindless as it was stock in stonewashed finish. I plan a head to head with both Yates H plates tomorrow to conclude my experiment. Have a great day Guys !!!
