Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh #387
Stick Schick
Schick Proline
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk AS

The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #387 brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Stick Schick with a Schick Proline blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Wednesday’s Shave

Eversharp Schick
Personna Blade (1)

 

Gem Micromatic Bullet Tip w/o guiding eye, Gem stainless ptfe blade, shave 1


This razor is definitely not the guiding eye variant. It is deceptively mild, feels mild on the face but shaves aggressively. BBS finish but with some irritation most likely due to me under estimating the aggressiveness of the razor. I'll be going back and forth with this and my other later model bullet tip to compare for the next few days.

I am really beginning to get used to this Razor , and really enjoyed todays Shave. I never seem to go wrong with the Vitos, a super lather helped the Shave go well, extremely smooth and the Razor/Blade combo made short work of my growth. The quality of finish being up there with those I get with my ATT SE1. I feel lucky to have got hold of this at a discounted price, as Tax/Post charges are on the high side for those of us in UK.

Gem Micromatic Bullet Tip w/o guiding eye, Gem stainless ptfe blade, shave 2


Later model Bullet tip w/o guiding eye made in 1950. Far as I can tell this razor shaves the same as the earlier one w/o the guiding eye. Feels mild but shaves aggressive. BBS finish with irritation most likely due to the same reasons as the first shave. Next shaves I'll be extra careful with these razors now that I have gotten my baseline shaves done. You got to pay attention with this razor. I managed to do something I haven't done in a long time because I wasn't paying attention, I cut my lip with the blade to the point I needed to make Japanese flags with toilet paper to stop the bleeding. Luckily it was a paper cut thin gash but still it bled like an S.O.B.

Feather Proguard [ 2 ]
La Toja A/S Lotion

Now getting tuned in to The Enoch, which shaves off the guard rather than the head. The Proguard blade makes it smooth and forgiving, but I was able to get a good close all round finish- probably the best so far. I may in the future revisit the use of a Schick Proline.

This Razor is very good and hard to relate how well it Shaves,IMHO up there with a Streamline/ 1924 many would find it easier to use. Streets ahead of ATT SE-G, Sabre L1 and PAA Starling V2, which are the only modern ones that I have tried.

 

Clint. Bowl is nice. Who is the maker?

Gem Micromatic Bullet Tip w/o guiding eye, Gem stainless ptfe blade, shave 3


This time I adhered to the ride the cap and light pressure. End result best shave ever with style razor so far. BBS finish with no irritation. Keep in mind I do 5 pass shaves to get the close shave I prefer. This razor really is technique dependent and very effective when used in this manner. Though effective it is not an efficient shave and if you are an instant gratification type or pressed for time you probably won't get this same end result with your shaves.

 

Thank you. My wife picked it up at a local craft fair. No idea who made it.
