Had my first shave with Williams and I liked it. Thick and rich lather with plenty of glide. Left my skin silky smooth...............
Today was seven straight days with Williams-----I don't think my face could possibly get any softer feeling!! I also use SE's everyday, this past week has been hard on my bottle of AV! Have been breaking in my Jayaruh 304 boar brush, this 30MM knot is really nice and soft after two weeks of shaves.
this is a late entry for Williams Wednesday sink of cool water presoaked Williams puck large coffee mug filled w/hot water and the no name chinabrush soaking in it while I was prepping face wash with soap and cool water x3 splash of Stephans Bay Rum on top of the Williams puck loaded up brush and beat out a mug of lather Atomic DE razor w/fresh Derby blade 2 passes and a touch up cool water rinse followed up with Stephans Bay Rum and a bit of Avon lather added. I had a hankerin to break out the Atomic razor so I did.I think it is a fine razor ,some disparage it.But I get consistent DFS with it. I had been thinking about the Bay Rum-Avon leather mix.Which turned out to be a disappointment.The bay scent faded rather quickly and toned down the leather scent a lot.
Something I wouldn't have thought of. I'll leave the Stephan BR to the post-shave. I like that BR...would like to get another bottle sometime.
Modern Williams.... check Big ole boar brush.... check 1913ish Ever Ready.... check PAL Super..... check British Stirling AS... check Awesome Williams Wednesday shave...check!!
Another awesomelicious Williams Wednesday shave. The modern shave stick is super nice!! (Made it myself) Andddddd. The video!
Broke out the homemade Williams shave stick and a micromatic. Awesome shave showed up as usual. This is probably my second favorite setup.
On the other hand, very few Williams Top Holder Shave Sticks from the 1930s still have a slight Rose scent if you can find them. While most of the Williams Shave Sticks do not have a scent either... But that is a different Williams animal...
Cool! We look forward to another post about an awesome shave and wondering what all the hate was about that you read.
If you get around to using this soap, make sure to bloom it first. The longer that you bloom it the better it will be. So much easier to get a great lather after it has bloomed.
Bad news. It didn't go so well. The lather was too thin and disappeared after a minute or so. Relathering did not help. It was too dry and I could feel the blade gliding across my skin. I even nicked myself below my earlobe due to lack of cushioning. So after a pass I had to finish up with my godrej cream on 2nd pass. My setup: Gillette black beauty razor Gillette platinum blade 4th use Omega 10051 boar On the plus side, my black beauty is like the smoothest razor I've used so far.
