It's been far too long since my last Williams Wednesday, and today reminded me that I REALLY need to use my Williams more. The pic below shows most of the equipment: Schick Type C1, brand new Proline B blade, Omega Boar, Modern Williams, Krampert's Finest Bay Rum, and Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel -- missing from the photo is an unmentionable...'nuff said.

Late posting for Williams Wednesday. I broke put the TNNSER 3D and vintage Williams shave stick. Just an awesome shave! Finished up with the Coachman to keep the goodness going!

WOW! Love the brush too. Thanks!!! That is my very first boar. I picked it up a few months ago on a trip to NYC in a visit to Pasteur's Pharmacy (awesome place). It was priced at $3 and I thought, "what the heck, never tried a boar before". Man, I LOVE it! Picked up another great boar not long after from Jayaruh, then decided I had to also try badgers (which are also great), now I'm looking at horses....can't believe I waited so long to try the animal brushes.

Williams Saturday Razor: Gem Junior with Gem Stainless Blade Soap: Williams Mug Brush: Fine Stout (this thing absolutely eats hard pucks - loaded more than I ever needed in very short order) AS: AV Ice Sport
Today's shave was the first one I wasn't on a timeline this week. Took my time really listened to the blade sing. You know when you've got things right. Great shave.

I prefer natural to synthetic in general. There are simply properties that natural fibers have that cannot be duplicated with plastics. Maybe someday we'll grow some plant fibers of some sort that are closer to animal hair but we're not there yet.

12/02/2020 WILLIAMS WEDNESDAY
Pre: Sainsbury's Luxury Soap, Bergamot & Nectarine Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Soap: Williams Mug Shaving SoapRazor: Supply V2 Blade: Personna (9) Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, Tony'schin's Neroli & Orange infused Witch Hazel Balm: Bart's Balm Lime Balm & Lotion Aftershave: Williams MuskA face Lather today for my Williams Wednesday, and it worked really well with the Chubby 2 Synth, the brush holding enough soap for 3 passes. I completed 2 passes today WTG and ATG then did a touch up pass of the more stubborn areas with the V2 and the blade is showing no signs of changing, still really smooth. I have had some very nice, close shaves this week and today was no exception. The Barts Balm post shave preparing my face for another couple of hours in this wind. Hopefully it will not blow of the Williams Aqua Velva Musk too quickly. Have a great Day All.

Wonderful Williams Wednesday from the 12th. I tried to get a video but there was a issue. Vintage Williams rocked with the little Semogue!

The book in the back ground showing off to the rest of us, you can read. LOL Actually, I would not have guessed you were into Science Fiction, I had you pictured as more of a Louis L'Amour or Tom Clancy type reader.

I do like to read some Science Fiction. Dune was a favorite. The originals. Star wars and such are fun. Also like things like Sherlock Holmes.
