Wilkinson Empire Model
#1
Monday May 31, 2021
Razor: Wilkinson Empire Model/Ever Ready 1914
Blade: Wilkinson Wedge (?)/Gem (2)
Brush: Rubberset 400/Oumo Boar
Soap: Baron's Choice 1508.5 Project
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Aqua Velva
Fragrance: n/a
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 936

So I decided to give the Empire recently acquired a shave. The wedge looked/felt shave ready. I disinfected but I didn't strop it and had a decent 2 passes with it. A little tuggy so stropping may help or it may need a refresh on hones and stropping. I decided it wasn't up to the 3rd pass atg so finished with the 1914 which was buttery smooth. Really enjoyed the Wilkinson Empire and looking forward to getting it shave readier for future shaves. Still 1 unopened Wedge Blade in the box too. Have a fun day Everyone !!
