Comments | This is the second shave in a row using my Timeless SS SB .68 razor with a Wizamet blade. The shave was close and smooth. The next brush in my rotation is a synthetic: Omega Hi. I find this to be an unusual brush for a synthetic: it has a substantial backbone. The vintage Williams is on its 111th use. I don’t see that many more shaves with it. A perfect shave. Have a wonderful day, folks. |

Comments | One day growth. Same setup as yesterday. Used the Variant on setting 2 (about 4/10 - as it goes by halves). Light strokes. Very close shave. Again, almost no stubble. Soap Commander Respect - love the scent. I don't know if it's the patchouli, but it's a bright, yet warm scent. Three passes and one clean up. The ATG pass felt much better. No nicks. No cuts. No irritation. DFS++ Cheers! |
