Thanked: 30Sunday, 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.Mikael,
BTW: That's not a razor...She's a monster machete...But, a beautiful one at that.
They're both lovely blades. Maybe this hybrid should called "Wade & Mapping" Or "Wade & Webb". Great shot and shave
Oh man. She's a beauty Rene
Great to see you again Brad. What an entrance with that Frameback. It has been a while
Beautiful José. Stunningly beautiful
Fabulous "to be shave" Mike.
You too Jim???? Teasing me with the extra hollow?? That's just cruel, LOL. I know now that this theme is a conspiracy, LOL
Don't you get started Rene, LOL
Depends Tom...Is it the Extra Hollow, Spike point (Like Max')?
Finally...someone who didn't use the "celebrated", LOL. Thank you
Thanks Mark,
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")
Very nice David
I like it Sachin...An English/French mix.
Matt,
Niiiice "bow"? I love it.
PS: I Like your new Avatar...wait a minute: it's actually you!!
Nice choices Phil. I love my Saville Row as well. Great brushes and great value for quality. Nice job with the Yardley.
I love this setup Andy. Beautiful razor

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.
I'll try to join in again later in the week. Take care.
Bill

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