Thread: Sun - June 30th - Sat July 06th

Prep - None
Brush - Semogue 1350 boar
Soap - Vintage Williams shave stick
Strop - Neil Miller 3 inch Cordovan leather/English linen
Razor - 6/8 Genco Henrys X spike point
Post - Alum block
AS - Aqua Velva Ice Blue

Cold water face lathered shave. Yea, the older Williams soap is as good as they say and the new stuff is a very pale imitation of it. The older stuff lathers easily with cold water and produces a decently thick lather that is slippery as snot. Had a BBS in no small thanks to the vintage Williams soap. Happy Canada Day everybody.

I'm pretty sure that is a vintage bottle.

I apologize for disappearing during the second half of last week. Unfortunately, work took me away for a few days, but I am back for a very busy next several weeks!

Just in time. Tell me. Is presentation nine tenths of the law?

My photography does not do it justice.

So... You shaved with the razor or the machete?

Both look great by the way.

Cheers.

Yes, and thanks

I posed them together in effort to put this razor next to something that made it look less massive. Here they are with some friends.

It certainly is a nice looking bottle. One of the fine Spanish gentlemen of the forum may be able to sell you one of the bottles if they have a few empty ones around.

If you're very lucky, that is...
