WILLIAMS WEDNESDAY!! 1900 Superior CVS Carbon Steel blade Williams Mug Shave Soap JR 176/Omega boar WH Stetson Very very nice Wednesday after shave before work. Nothing shaves like a 118 year old lather catcher.
That's some serious hardware you've brought out. Do you realize how awesome that ABC Old Type would look re-plated? It's in solid looking condition.

Wowwwwww, what a shave this was! I used this South African-made Frosty Bay Rum from River Valley Trading which arrived yesterday and let me say that it's fantastic. It has a most delightful bay rum scent, it's so easy to lather, and it's got a nice menthol effect, along with a very comfortable post-shave feeling. Mohamed is not only a hell of a nice guy, he's a soap genius. This soap really pairs well with the Burt's Bees Bay Rum balm - yes, I still have a little left after so many years and it felt nice and cooling as well as very soothing and moisturizing. My Super Speed/Astra combination is definitely where my bread is buttered. A perfect two pass BBS shave which I enjoyed so much and a special shout-out to my man Rod's mentholated pre-shave soap and my Plissoft synthetic! Enjoy your shaves and have a great day!

Star 1912 type razor Gem Stainless blade Plisson/L'Occitane synthetic brush Williams SS (modern) Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe M&L Florida Water Cologne w/added menthol So, was today's shave any better than yesterday? Maybe marginally so but still not a really good shave. The problem is with me and the Williams. The only thing different between this puck and the last (which worked great) is that I grated the last puck but have left this one intact. Or maybe I've just lost my Williams mojo, I'm not sure. At any rate there's always tomorrow. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Last Night's Shave 2/7/2018 This was a FREEZING shave - Stirling GLACIAL Wintergreen!! with the witch hazel/aloe and the after shave - this after shave has so much menthol that I was in tears. The Lady Eversharp with the new NOS K-MART blade (the red light special!) gave me a BBS - not the most efficient razor - it takes 3 passes - plus pickups - but i was in no rush.... WHIPPED DOG 30 MM SILVER TIP!! Monster!! Peace!! --Jamie
Yaqi DOC/Nacet (2). Like its GSK and PAA antecedents the Yaqi's negative blade exposure and small blade gap make for narrow cutting angles. Stick to the angle and don't over tighten the handle and it's a fine cutter, at least for this daily shaver a pleasant BBS shave. Going ATG in trouble areas no problem here. Head $7.51 delivered.
