    there has to be something to it though or we'd all be using the same razor..there are razors i like that you don't and vise versa..if they are the same, what's the difference?

    I always try to patronize the vendors with free shipping purchase quota high enough to keep the riff-raff out.

    That's MY story and I'm sticking to it!

    SOTD:
    Beautiful shave today, that Wilkinson sword TTO and Wilkinson sword brush that Sav very generously sent in a PIF from the UK are absolutely amazing. I tend to use the Wilkinson sword brush more for bowl lathering and the Omega 49 which Sav also sent for face lathering although thats changing quickly because the omega is also getting used for bowl lathering now. Both are absolutely fantastic brushes in their own ways!
    The Wilkinson sword TTO delivers a shave very similar to the vintage gillettes, like the super speed and for someone who uses double edged razors to save money its an absolutely amazing razor, i highly recommend it. I'll use this razor for a month and then do a comparison to both my superspeeds and a 1948 aristocrat.

    The palmshave lathered perfectly, provided that you use quite a lot of it so i might be changing scores in certain categories on the review i posted on different shave forums after some more testing.

    Razor: Wilkinson sword TTO
    Blade: personna lab blue (8)
    Brush: Wilkinson sword classic shave premium
    Cream: palmshave lime
    Aftershave Balm: prep[​IMG]

    Thanks Danny. The brush is really nice...the shave was mediocre, at best.

    Razor: PAA DOC Ascension Cu
    Blade: Sputnik (1)
    Brush: WWB Limedrop/ TDR Fanchurian
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: PAA Will-o'-the-Wisp
    PAA Galactic witch hazel
    PAA unscented Star Jelly
    AS: PAA Will-o'-the-Wisp

    Wildcard Wednesday!

    I decided to change up the Wednesday theme. I entered my razors and soaps in a randomizer. First Wildcard Wednesday pairing puts the PAA Ascension with PAA Will-O'-the-Wisp. Great shave to start the day. Three passes for near BBS.

    There's Menthol Monday, Tobacco Tuesday, Wildcard Wednesday, No Theme Thursday, Fat Friday, I'll be doing SE Saturday and Sample Sunday. I think Thursdays will include my mild razors to make sure they don't get left out.

    Have a great day!
