Have a great day! ​

 

I use the Wilkinson Sword all the time. I started using them in the 1970's I was in a Truck Stop outside of Portland Oregon. Needed some shaving cream and Razor Blades. They were the only ones they had so I bought them. I've been using them ever since.

 

Sunday's Shave



Prep: Hot shower w/ Grandpa's Pine Tar
Music: Mississippi Delta Blues mix
Lather: Stirling Margaritas In the Arctic (courtesy of @WhiskerWhacker )
Razor: '46-'50 Gillette Heavy Gold Tech
Blade: Astra SP
Post: Witch Hazel, Nivea Sensitive Balm
Scent: Pinaud Lime Sec

WOW! That ***** cold! I think I love the Margaritas In the Artic. Had to try it today after the initial smell test. Yum! Went full 3 passes, wasn't sure I could handle it! Awesome shave, DFS, damn near BBS except for the problem areas under my chin.

 

Have you ever used the Wilkinson in the black case?

Cool shot! Everything goes better with coffee and Baileys

 

Thank you
It's my favorite.

 

Very nice brush!

 

Thanks. First time using the CB Baileys and it really does smell like Baileys coffee when you pop the lid and swirl but the coffee aroma come through more when on your face. Very impressed with this one. Have tried only one other coffee type and it was not up to task like this one.

SOTD 3-15-2015

Hot Shower and Prep -Neutrogena Men Invigorating Face Wash
Razor - Birth Year and Quarter Gillette Slim Adjustable (4) - 1964
Blade - Astra SP (1)
Brush - Parker Best Badger
Lather -TOBS - Sandalwood
Bowl - Fine Lather Bowl
Post - Warm water rinse, Maggard Razor Alum, wait 30 seconds then cool water rinse, & Lucky Tiger AS & Face Tonic

I think my brush may have grew some funkyness while out of rotation. I cleaned it with diluted vinegar before letting it have a week or so rest. However, the lather was pitiful. - Actually had to add a bit of Proraso Green to get a good lather. - My 3 pass shave still worked out a nice BBS

 

I did not see any freezing going on so I was a bit worried until I ready your comments. I thought I was going to have to organize a Den intervention. I would suggest caution when going off menthol cold-turkey

 

Lovely photo, Phil!

 

Nicely done!

 

Thanks! I see you have continued on with the Time theme in your pictures this last week.

 

Cool shot

 

It's been fun.

 

Yes I have them, I thought I had run out of them and found more of them under the bathroom sink. I really do not see much of a difference between the "White or Black Packages" I get just as good a shave with either, whether I use one in a blade from a "Black container or a White container"
