Wednesday's Shave

GEM Damaskeene
GEM S/S PTFE (1)
MrEE LE #015
Vintage Williams Mug Shaving Soap
T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Spanish Williams Aqua Velva

It's been quite a while since I had a Williams shave. What better day than today? Spurred on after seeing Dave's post and watching his video this morning, I whipped up an exceptionally thick and slick vintage Williams lather. I also had to brush off the dust from the GEM Damaskeene, as I just feel better using a vintage SE razor for Williams Wednesday shaves. It performed like a champ, as usual. Although it's been a while since I last used this razor, it was like riding a bicycle; keeping the razor almost flat to the face and listening to the buttering toast sound as the stubble was whisked away from my face.

2 passes this morning provided a very comfortable and efficient result with no irritation or mishaps.

 

Thanks, Danny.

Excellent choices today, Jim! Great minds must think alike...

 

Excellent shave setup, Danny! I really like the scales on the razor.

 

Thanks, Andrew!
Dave has quite the influence.

Thank you, Dave!
Peanut butter: Skippy, JIF or Peter Pan?

 

Congrats Jim. That’s worth breaking the No Buy.

Beautiful razor, Jim!!
Congratulations on the purchase.
Now, the pressure is off and you'll also get the satisfaction of providing another prime shaving implement to Jason. Think positive.

 

Thank you, Clint!
I've mentioned it before, but GEM could have just stopped designing other models after making this one. It provided an exceptional shave.

 

Well, since May Mayhem is over, I'll have to wait until next year I suppose...

 

Almond butter for me, Keto and all.

Thanks, Clint.

Thank you, Andrew.
It's been a little while since we've heard from Jason. I hope all is well with him.

to the Almond Butter for Keto and YES, I hope he is just busy !

 

Thanks Paul. Jay Leno is my favorite of the bunch, by far. He seems fairly well grounded, and he drives some cool cars. Thanks especially for not picking Kermit the Frog.

 

Thanks Danny. Thank you for the excellent PIF! The Katana would make a great little travel razor...if only I had a Delrin handle to go along with it.

Shave number two is on deck for later today. Have a great day!
