    Sunday, March 13th

    Razor: Wilkinson Sticky
    Blade: Super Iridium
    Brush: Saville Row 3322
    Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
    Soap: Yardley Black Label Shave Soap
    A/S: Taylor #74 Original

    I used the newer version of Yardley soap this morning and it takes a back seat to no one. The lather was extremely thick and rich and the resulting shave was excellent. A splash of #74 Original and I feel great.

    Very nice so far gentlemen! No Wade and Butcher for me alas, but it's still a very English set up today:



    George Butler "Keen"; custom best badger in boxwood handle by Neo; Mitchell's Wool Fat; Taylor's St James aftershave.

    Stunning blades gentlemen .

    Max/Tom/Bill: I knew this "themed" week would be a mistake . I just knew it (and it's only Sunday). With all these gorgeous "Celebrated" W&Bs you are flaunting in front of me, I want one. Max: especially that Extra Hollow. I've been looking for one of those. They're hard to come by.

    Amund: Great to see you back.

    Otto: It seems like you are a HUGE fan of Anne Sophie Muller. I don't blame you...she's a wonderful violinist.

    It's always nice to see you here Birnando. I think everyone spent most of last week planning (and changing their minds) in preparation for this week. We're all hopeless...like kids in a candy store.

    BTW: That's not a razor...She's a monster machete ...But, a beautiful one at that.

    Mikael,
    They're both lovely blades. Maybe this hybrid should called "Wade & Mapping" Or "Wade & Webb" . Great shot and shave

    You too Jim???? Teasing me with the extra hollow?? That's just cruel, LOL. I know now that this theme is a conspiracy, LOL

    I figured we have a band called U2, why not a razor called W2, LOL.

    Mark,
    Nice choice buddy. Somehow I knew you were going to bring this baby out today, so I decided not to duplicate and instead used my "Bow" (to everyone else: NOT the "Celebrated")

    Nice choices Phil. I love my Saville Row as well. Great brushes and great value for quality. Nice job with the Yardley.

    Hello all,
    Well, another meat and potatoes day for me, but I wanted to join in. Plain old W&B, but it's a goodie.

    I found a new soap that seems to work well. The wife brought it home quite a while back and I forgot about it. Just tried it today and liked it alot. The last pic has all the info that I know about it and I will look into it more later. Seems to be a local home made soap.

    Now who's teasing look at that wedge, a Max rescale you could shave in the reflection. He does beautiful work.
