    Oh yes you got me with the Evo. I don't recall who got me with the Lupo.

    Thanks, Charlie! The whole walk happened because he needed some social distancing--he was becoming a child even a mother could find difficult to love :happy102:

    Wonderful Wiliams shave, Jim! I was wondering do you bowl lather or face lather the Williams? I think bowl lathering may be the key to the Williams disappearing act. Now that I have a makeshift bowl, I may try it to see if it works. But then again, it may not work.

    Fantastic shave, photo, and report--all those blues and whites! :D

    Super excited to hear the next base plate is working so well. I've never used Williams, but considering your experience this morning, I find it kind of ironic that the packaging says, "For a lasting lather." :happy102:

    Mastro Livi straights and strops are supposed to be top notch. Awesome shave Keith!

    You know, I've never seen that commercial though I've heard that line thousands of times :rofl:

    I agree, though--a fitting CT, indeed :)

    Awesome set up and photo, Keith--and congrats for hitting the bottom of the WCS cream! For many here, that's a pretty big deal :D

    That Russian packaging looks ultra-epic in and of itself; how could the shave be otherwise? ;)

    Thanks, Joe!
    I bloom and bowl lather Williams. I load the brush with all it can take and rub the puck on the bottom of the bowl for an additional layer of soap. I then use the reserved bloom water to hydrate the lather. This technique has worked for me several times in the past. I have extremely hard water, that's why I'm wondering if the water softener needs maintenance.
    Thank you, Tim!

    It's been awhile since I broke out a traditional straight razor so I thought what better time to do so since I am not working.
    I bowl lathered the Stirling Bay Rum. I notice that the lather is more creamierbut not as voluminous as compared to a face lather. It may be that I am loading the brush with less soap. However, the lather was still slick and thick enough for me to shave. Two and a half passes gave me an IBSS+ without any blood loss and some very minor irritation. Applied the aftershave and balm to finish this nice shave. Have a great day guys! 20200324_211344.jpg 20200325_094809.jpg 20200324_211344.jpg 20200325_094809.jpg

    Awesome shave, photo and report, Terry! I've always been too timid to try the Electric Sheep (though I love their mutton formula). :)
