Yay, it's WILLY'S WEDNESDAY.

Willy's Wednesday SOTD

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.

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.


Happy shaves guys.

Picked up what is possibly last known retail stock of Willys from my regular blade guy.

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

Willy's Wednesday SOTD

Brush: Shavemac "Kleiner Bayer" 14/42 Silvertip D01 2-Band
Soap: Vitos Red
Razor: 1947 Gillette Flat Bottom Tech GT
Blade: Willy's (1)
ASL: La Rive Cabana

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


Happy shaves guys.

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...

Well, you'll never know unless you try one, Ivan.

I see the white rabbit likes them too...

 

[Hammond Cheeseman]

Ok you all have convinced me. Pack of 100 on the way. I suspect I'm going to be sad if I like them because no idea where the next lot will come from......

Yay, it's WILLY'S WEDNESDAY and Wolfman Wednesday SOTD

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.

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.

Brush: Shavemac Silvertip 2-Band 20/46
Soap: Rasozero Agrumella
Razor: 1920s Gold Gillette Tuckaway
Blade: Willy's Premium (5)
ASL: Caffè Latte [home brew]

A most pleasant shave.
This time the Caffè Latte ASL overpowered the Agrumella soap, but in a good way.


Happy shaves guys.

Loaded with a Willy's blade. Like the blade so far.

I received five pucks with the Pearl Flexi OC, and decided to try one.

Happy shaves,

Jim

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.

Thanks for the reminder, Cal @Cal!

The Willy's blade in my Opgress continues to impress.

Happy shaves,

Jim

I've used a Willy's blade for the last several Wednesdays.

It's easy enough to keep track when one uses the same blade day after day week after week which is what I've been doing with the Willy's.

These are really nice blades.

Happy shaves,

Jim

I'm trying to find the best place to buy more Willy's blades. The shipping from Pearl is a bit daunting.

Did you get your stash ?

 

[Chan Eil Whiskers]

Did you get your stash ?

I have maybe 40 blades of the ~50 they sent me with one of the Pearl razors, but, no, I've not found a place to order more Willy's blades. Yes, I know they can be ordered from Pearl in India at a reasonable price, but then there's the shipping...

These are very good blades. I'm still looking for a supplier.

Thanks for asking.

Happy shaves,

Jim
