SOTD 10.9.2017 Pre-shave: coffee, hot shower & Shave Secret Soap: Williams Mug + Head Slick Mentholated Shave Cream Razor: vintage Probak (3rd shave in a row) Blade: German Wilkinson Sword (6) Brush: Marvy boar Post-shave: Thayer's Lavender WH, Nivea Men Sensitive Cooling Balm, Skin Bracer Last week I did a mix of Williams and Head Slick cream and really liked the results. I had to do it again and this mixture provided a creamy, pleasant, skin-friendly, slick lather. I'll be mixing these two again many times in the future. This was my third shave with the Probak and the 6th with the Wilkinson blade. Since I haven't shaved for 72 hours I discovered this blade wasn't "cutting" it very well. I love Wilkinson blades, but since my face stubble was heavier and this blade had already seen a lot of shave action it was time to change it out. I didn't even get through a single pass and I reached for a new blade. I went for my open pack of $1 DE blades (from either Family Dollar or Dollar General) made in Vietnam. I hadn't used these for months since I've acquired better blades. But I need to get these used up as well. I've had both good and questionable blades in these packs. Today, I got a good blade. The end result after 2 full passes, and a clean up pass on the neck was a very close, comfortable shave... nearly baby smooth but I'm not ready to call that. Happy shaving, everyone!
