Neither am I going to rush a straight shave pass just for the sake of using Williams, nor do I believe that I should have to lather up again when ½-way through a pass.


B.
That is a very good point. How long does a SR shave need to be?

So, I timed myself this morning. Big Surprise!

2:45 from lather finish to a one pass DFS.

I was shocked and saddened. Shocked that the time was so short and saddened that all this time, effort and money is spent on something lasting less than 3 minutes.

OTOH, I have a smooth face with no burn or irritation. The wife is happy which is all that matters.

I neither praise nor condemn Williams. Of the 3 dozen soaps I own it would be second from last in shaving comfort and results. Well, I guess I do condemn the soap.

Enough about Williams.
