Got my first face shave in with William's a little while ago. While, unfortunately, I can't mention the tool used to shave, I can say this. My angel synthetic knot whipped up some excellent lather from my William's in a mug soap. Got a great shave to start 2019! Tonight, head shave...although I have no idea which Gem I want to use for that. Stay tuned! Happy New Year, gentleman!

One more Williams Mug Soap prayer, and a use of the GEM Damanskee and your pittance is paid. But seriously though, isn't it awesome when you can get a razor to "sing"? I love getting that feedback from them, especially a lather catcher! I do love the audio portion of these shaves. I've wondered if part of the over-shaving from cheap plastic garbage "unmentionables" (aside from the ridiculous number of blades) is because you don't hear a thing when your shaving and so you just keep shaving/raking over the same spot. Thankfully, it's just a rhetorical thought since I'm never going back to that world!

Fellas, GREAT shave today!!!!!!!! I love this Williams, it will always have a place in my den(good thing I have about 15 of them) I also wanted to go for the "Old Man" smell, kinda like fuzzy, so the Pinaud Clubman is where it's at! Prospero ano y Feliz Edad!

Today, the First Shave of 2019. I used as close to Fuzzy's Siggy Shave as possible. Lather: Williams Brush: TOST Custom by Jayaruh Razor/Blade: GEM g3 bakelite 1912/GEM d1 Witch Hazel pass Post: Skin Bracer & Aqua Velva... Pic: has all the above,except I used a splash of the Skin Bracer...then I remembered Fuzzy used the AV, so I splashed with that too...lol I included the Schick because I wanted both my WWII razors in the same pic. And I will use that one tomorrow with everything else the same... Yesterday I went on so about how easy that brush and Williams got along....Check out how well my TOST brush and Williams hit it out of the park today...

Williams Wednesday's Shave Cold Water Wash Williams Mug Shaving Soap Jayaruh #330 Bunny V3 Injector Schick Proline B20 CWR Pinaud Vanilla My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #330 brush. I only did one pass and touch ups with the Bunny V3 Injector Razor with a Schick Proline B20 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Jan 2, 2019 -- I think I'm coming in at the tail end of Williams Wednesday, but I'm coming in nonetheless. Struggling with a cold that hit me last night, but NOTHING was going to stop me from my shave today!!! It was worth fighting my congestion, and I actually think it helped -- the curative nature of shaving. Razor: Micromatic Flying Wing (aka Bullet Tip) -- my 2nd shave, still a fan of this beauty. Blade: Treet (on it's 6th shave) Blade is not tuggy, but feels VERY broken-in....still hoping for a few more shaves. Soap: Williams Mug Shaving Soap (duh) Brush: RazoRock Plissoft 24mm A/S: Krampert's Finest Frostbite -- I practically squirted up into my nostrils....it was heaven! Not going to be too much variety in my shaving kit during our 2019 Williams Week of Wonder. My informal new year's resolution is to use a razor that is "new to me" for at least a week of shaves -- in this case, it's the Micromatic Flying Wing (aka Bullet Tip, aka Magic Eye, aka Antenna Tip, etc, etc.)

Week of Williams Shave 3-1-19 Williams Zenith boar Gem Featherweight Treet Denim Musk with all the respect for Semogue and other brands providing excellent boar brushes,I must say that in Italy we have the absolute best boar brushes manufacturers: Omega and Zenith. Their boars are top notch, really, plus Zenith has a variety of handles which is astonishing. Among them all, this one is my favourite. Have a great day, my friends!
