Brush: Shavemac "Kleiner Bayer" 14/42 Silvertip D01 2-Band
Cream: Nivea Men Sensitive Pro Ultra-Calming Liquid Shaving Cream
Razor: 1947 Gillette Flat Bottom Tech GT
Blade: Willy's (4)
ASL: La Rive Cabana

A very pleasant shave. :biggrin:

My new liquid shaving cream is very nice, with an interesting herbal scent. @RogerThat posted info on the American version HERE. I thought it would be worth a try so looked it up. It's readily available here (in the UK). I picked mine up at Boots today (reduced from £3.49 to £2.32 for 200ml, so pretty inexpensive).

I'm definitely impressed with the shaving cream, first shave. My face is feeling even nicer than usual (post-shave). I think I'll give it a week's trial (just to make sure it wasn't beginner's luck). Thanks for your post @RogerThat. :001_cool:


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:

I can see that my Flat Bottom Tech (current No 1 favorite) is going to be pushed to keep the top place…

Soap: Vitos Red
Razor: 1947 Gillette Flat Bottom Tech GT
Blade: Willy's (1)
ASL: La Rive Cabana

An excellent shave. :biggrin:
The brand new (and brand new to me) Willy's blade certainly didn't disappoint. :001_cool:

So you are saying I should finally reach for that orange pack that has been lying on my desk for almost 2 years?
Every time I look at it I have a suspicion these will not be very good. Call it prejudice or whatever you like...
 
Yay, it's WILLY'S WEDNESDAY and Wolfman Wednesday SOTD
SOTD-WR2GT-G_2022-12-07.jpg
:001_wub:

Brush: Shavemac Silvertip 2-Band 20/46
Soap: Phoenix Scentsless
Razor: Wolfman WR2-SB 1.25 GT
Blade: Willy's Premium (1)
ASL: Clubman VIBR

A superb shave. :biggrin:

My Willy's blades started crying out to me (I'd nearly forgotten them!). I wasn't disappointed. It was a very different experience to my (currently regular and favorite) Gillette Ninjas, in ways that I can't really explain, but most enjoyable.

The last time I used one was back in February, at which time they appeared to be unobtainable. I looked again today and Pearl (in India) have them up for sale again at an amazing ~$7 for 200 HERE. Unfortunately shipping is ~$24.

This Zircon web site on the tuck is no more, domain name is for sale. I would take that to mean Zircon is no longer around. Too bad, my first shave with a Willy's blade yesterday was very good.
