This was my first shave with a W&B, this thing is by far the biggest heaviest razor in the collection, its like stropping a baseball bat.
The old W&B's are just so cool, I've been looking forward to this shave for a long time. This was my favourite razor even before I began restoring it, so I decided to get a few other favorites involved, Tabac, Bay Rum and The King
I was hoping for a good shave from this beauty and it BY FAR exceeded my expectations. 2 passes + touch-ups, BBS. The edge feels so smooth you could almost forget that its sharp, it just wipes the whiskers away.
Truly a blissful shave.
I'm flying to Sydney in the morning and not taking any razors, so I wont have any pics to post for a few days, but I'll be around.
Have a great week Gentlemen, thanks for all the posts and pics.
