6/8+ Crown & Sword Green Moutain homemade brush/ Shavemac pure Nice shave this morning. I have a love hate relationship with this soap. Great shaves, great post shave but I struggle with the lather. I'm going to use it exclusively for a couple of weeks and see how things work out improving my lather. Have a good one. Sunday's blade.
I find myself using colder and colder water. In Colorado, that's pretty cold even in the heights of summer.

Schick G8 razor Schick Super Chrome blade Vintage Williams SS WD Synthetic brush Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Pinaud Clubman A/S The Super Chromium blades have been a real disappointment for me. Tried a new one in 3 different razor and got irritation/tugging/pulling each time. Well, it was pretty smooth in the Grip razor. And the shaves ended up DFS (barely) but I don't think these blades are worth the trouble for me anyway. Guess it's one of those YMMV things

That's the problem with my current Clubman(the 16 oz. Country Club A.S.).....I don't care much for the green&white photo of the lettering and Dr. Pinaud's famous stance...I'll return to the 6 when this is through to get the red lettering back.
That's my Vintage Williams. Inspired by this thread: http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/the-vintage-williams-project.45842/
