I received the Wilkinson Sticky from Diggity (Nathan) yesterday afternoon and decided to take it for a spin. I had been looking for a Sticky for a long time and it did not disappoint. The sticky is a very gentle and smooth shaver... paired with the Super Iridium, it delivered an outstanding shave. A splash of TOBS 74 Original and I am ready for the day.

Phil,
Great choice of hardware/Software. I could almost "feel" this shave myself.

Rene,
Excellent razor buddy. Don;t worry...these honing escapades are a learning experience. The second round WILL be better and of not quite there, keep going until you get there. Trust me on this...Coming from someone who's been there (and is still there most times), it is a fantastic feeling when it comes together.

This may be my new favorite
razor for now, one of my best
straight shaves sense I've
been Straight Shaving !!!

Fanta-bu-lous Mark. Congrats on the new acquisition and a fantastic shave. Isn't this a fun sport? We should lobby to enter shaving as an Olympic event, LOL

José,
Mucho fabuloso. I dig this shot maestro. Very nice

Thanks Rene...I never said it was going to end, LOL. It always begins and then evolves, but NEVER ends. If it ended, I would have wasted a good amount of $$ for this restore...besides, Max would be disappointed, LOL

Hehehe...That's a lot of Jerky's to sell...Wait 'til Max comes out with his custom blades!!! But, then again, you have hundreds on this forum to advertise to (come to think of it...I think that would go against the rules).

BTW: Welcome to SOTD (and SRP).
