Participation PIF: A Tale Of Two Bridges.​

Week six and shave number four on my second dig with the Vintage Wilkinson Sword The Light Brigade Chromium blade. This morning’s shave was okay, the blade did feel a little tuggy when going ATG on my last pass. I did finish up with one tiny weeper after my third and final pass ATG on my left cheek. I am a little disappointed with this blade second time around. I just hope that the last three shaves are okay. Time will tell.

UK London Bridge Blade #2 Shave #4

My Fat Handle Tech with the 'medium' 3D printed OC comb gave me a great shave. I did give myself a small nick, but I hardly felt it. Operator error I am sure.

Week six and shave number five with my second dig with the Wilkinson Sword Light Brigade Chromium blade. This morning’s shave was so far the best for the week. I had no blood, minimal redness and just a bit of sting when I applied my Alum Block. I am hoping that the weekend shaves are the same. I was quite pleased with todays efforts.

These are the times I have a love/hate with the generosity of @Grundi and others for these awesome blade shares. I’m still using my first blade of the bunch. It still works, maybe a bit more work or a bit less smooth, but nothing terrible. I can’t toss a blade that still gives fine shaves, that would be wasteful. Pretty sure I’ll get to a different blade soon. As always thanks for doing these and allowing me to continue to participate.

Agreed! I put 10? I think shaves on that blade, and it's still going strong.

I recently went to Indiana to see the eclipse, so I thought that it was time to put that blade in storage. Still delivering great shaves, so it will be stored for a bit.


This has been my setup for the last two shaves. It is superior to the orange wrapped one, in my opinion, and that is high praise! The half pipe (lol) is Avon Tai Winds..... Definitely one of the top 5 Avon aftershave lotions!

Week 6 and shave number six on my second dig with the Vintage Wilkinson Sword The Light Brigade Chromium edge blade. This morning’s shave was okay. I shed no blood so that was great. I did have a couple of red marks on my face and I did have a little sting when I applied my Alum Block. My face did feel a little raw when I was in the shower but when I applied my Aftershave Balm all settled down.

London Bridge UK Blade #3 Shave #5
Another nice two pass shave with the RR Baby Smooth Razor today.
The blade is starting to slow down some & extra touchup was required.
Clubman Aftershave only gave me a slight tingle feeling thus reminding me that the RR Baby Smooth was doing a great job.

Brush: Shavemac beagle 2-band (bulb)
Soap: Haslinger’s schafmilch
Splash: Pinaud clubman

Comment: Very fine shave from this EXCELLENT blade (9.5/10)!! But time for a change as just a bit of ‘tugging.’

Summary: First, thanks @AnimalCatcher and @Grundi for an excellent participation PIF!! One of the best ever!
Second, these are terrific blades!! All three are ‘top-tier‘ IMHO.

Soap: Frankensoap (1/3 each of Arko, VDH Luxury, and Dove Men Care 3 in 1 Extra Fresh)
Brush: No-name badger off of Amazon

A very good shave today. Shaves 2 and 3 were definitely better than shave 1. I'll give it one more and then go to the English-Made London Bridge.
