Happy shaves everyone. I should mention the brush. It's nearly new - as you can probably guess by the copper handle. I have it's brother in horse and it is one FINE brush. The Zenith horse, to me is lot denser than the Vie Long and worth it. Someday I will complete the collection with a copper badger.

I've got that same brush and LOVE it. When they develope a good patina they look even more amazing.

So tonight I made up for missing Micro Matic Monday and Williams Wednesday. Love the Clog Pruf shave with the modern Williams and Horse brush. The Skin Bracer Cool Spice had not been made for some time. Now a real favorite of mine as I think it is too light. Still it's fun to use things that most do not have.
Happy shaves to ya!

Williams Week
Tuesday March 8, 2022
Razor: Occam's OREN
Blade: Feather Pro
Brush: Rubberset 400/Tuxedo
Soap: Vintage Williams
AS 1: Thayers Original
AS 2: Aqua Velva
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1217
Soap is set for the week and other products are varying. I Have had a love/hate relationship with the OREN due to the fact it doesn't play well with Schick Prolines (my preferred AC blade) When I saw the Nano/open handle available on a BST I jumped on it for the price. I just had a shave that will rival the Vector and has me wondering if I should keep it or not..........WHAT?!?!?! Yes, that good of a shave result. Is it as sleek and maneuverable ? NO. Is the head as small and easy to get in tight spots ? NO. But it works and I got a great shave using a new Feather Pro blade with a dot 2 plate and for a fraction of the cost of the Vector....Has Dave thinking hard as he wants to minimize his modern razors in each category in the den. Have a great day Everyone !

I really wish they'd bring back the cool spice. I remember my dad using it in the 1980's.

It's not a horrible scent at all but I think I like the Musk more.

Testing 2 new razor heads from Roger Quintero. These are more aggressive than the Raptor V2. The one on the left is really close to a Gem MMOC and the one on the right is even more aggressive than that. I like them both.
Vintage Williams whipped up with my Ruger brush and newly acquired Williams Aqua Velva Fresh Control Locion(Spanish Version) performed wonderfully.
