very nice.just received a boxed dispenser of the stainless blades like yours,but they seem stuck together is there an easy to get them out,? alcohol soak perhaps?

Of course, Gary. Yardley really needs a good bloom. Hard as a rock.

 

Williams Wednesday!

My Chattahoochee River water must be a perfect match for Williams. Easy & quick face lather every time! DFS today with no irritation at all.

Another shave with the closed comb Starling V2 plate and another fantastic one at that. I was only planning on trying the travel scuttle a couple times, but dang! It lathers up so easily and holds the heat so well. I can't help myself. Enjoy your Wednesday everyone.

First shave back home from Dad’s place so I decided to change up all the gear though, the extended run with the New LC was brilliant I must say. Reached for my Progress as opposed to the Mergress and went with the APShave Co. Silk Smoke. No bowl just straight face lather and after a 30 second load on the RazoRock American Barber, I had enough for 4 passes easy. 3 passes and BBS. Great way to start the first day back in the office.

Shave No.2 with this beauty.

Fun fact: This was my first ever she as ight razor shave before work.

Less fun fact: I have a pimple on my top lip and while trying to avoid it cut my bottom one.

Who is it keeps saying "if you're in a rush, put down the straight"?

 

IMO, that's a no-brainer. Use. Looks really, really dry. If it were my puck, I would grate it and press it back into the container first. Then of course bloom the heck out if it.
