That razor looks so good. Is that brush good? I like it. In the past I said I like a brush with a lot of backbone and some scritch. This one doesn't have much of either and yet I really like it. I use mostly painting strokes, but do swirl a little. I don't mash it flat or anything though. I think for the price it's a good value. It feels a lot different than a boar brush. I also have a little stiffer horse hair a brush I like a little better. It feels a little higher quality than the Cremo/Vie Long and is about $10 more. I've read conflicting viewpoints. Some say the white hair is softer and some say it's the same. In the case of the brush in the photo linked below, the white is a little stiffer. I've not had any knots in the Cremo brush, but the white one seems even less likely to get them. I really like the handle shape too. I wish it wasn't wood, but I can live with it. I

Williams Wednesday's ShaveCold Water Rinse Williams Mug Shaving Soap Tom's 3D Printed Brush Enders Speed Shaver Schick Proline CWR Aqua Velva Blue Ice AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. I did two passes with the Enders Speed Shaver razor with a Schick Proline SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Blue Ice AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... I must say, this may be my new favorite razor/blade combo. This was a most excellent shaving experience.

Been a while since I've had a Williams Wednesday shave, and after the awesome shave today, I'm left wondering why the hiatus. This was inaugural shave with my Schick Type A. Between the Williams and the Schick with a Proline B-20, I was left both smooth and happy. You can find a bit more about the shave over here, and I've re-attached the pic below as well.

Gentlemen! Williams Month is over for me. I will keep using Williams as it is now a staple item for me. Williams Month for me will always be June from now on. I also have some Mitchel's Wool Fat coming soon to me. Looking forward to using some. My next Williams shave will also be my first Schick Injector shave. You done good young padawan. Keep it up! Looking forward to the Schick Shave.

Last picture came out wrong. Do not know how to change it. Shrink it down . If file is too large for some reason it turns pic sideways .
