Williams Wednesday Vintage Williams Barbers Bar Omega Bambino Schick Krona - Black Tip / Gillette plain White Wrapper Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel Aqua Velva Original Sport Two firsts today. I used the Schick Krona for the first time, as well as the Omega Bambino. The Krona is a good razor that has moderate aggressiveness. The Bambino I got in a PIF and it makes great lather.

Shave of the day for Wed. Nov. 12, back to basics. Prep- hot shower with Yardley Lavender soap. Pre- homemade pre shave oil Water- cold Soap- Derby Brush- Ever Ready 250b Mug- Golden Knight Razor- Gillette Senator Blade- Astra SP Rinse- Thayers lavender After shave- Florida Water Lotion- Every Man Jack So my days off are done, and today is the first day of my 52 hour week. So all I wanted today was a nice, close, refreshing shave. Mission accomplished. The Senator is one of my more aggressive Gillette TTOs, but that is still really pretty mild. And while isn't too everyone's taste, Florida water is to me, the very definition of refreshing. So I am going to put this one in the win column.
Another 24 hour interval shave coming up. I am attempting to determine if my skin can handle 2-3 passes daily, been a mixed bag so far.... No Variation November continues...it's going well. SOTD 12 November 2014
Last time I saw a Royal Copenhagen AS was when I used it back in mid 70's while in High School! Liked it back then and going to have to look this one up again.
I'm not sure if you are kidding me - but I snap away with an iPhone and then spend approx 45 seconds in photoshop
