The Gem PTFE coated blade has more than 35 shaves on it and is still going strong.
A leisurely 3 pass shave with no pulling or tugging, no irritation and great skin feel post shave. I take short slow strokes with this razor and as always the Williams lather is plenty slick and plentiful to get the job done easy.
Williams and the Veg. Another classic Duo!! That truck is also a big ole pile of awesome.
Happy shaves to ya!

Williams Wednesday's Shave
![[Image: zcws.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/905gwjZc/zcws.jpg)
Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
SlimGem Silvertip Badger
Schick M2
Personna Injector
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk AS
The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with the SlimGem Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick M2 with a Personna Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Razor: Schick Type F
Blade: Schick (?)
Brush: Unbranded Burma Shave Boar (My 1st Brush bought in 1979)
Soap: Vintage Williams
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Vintage Aqua Velva
Fragrance: Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb
I was fortunate to pick one of these up at a reasonable price versus the Stupid Money they go for at times and I LOVE it. Always have when seen in others shave of the day pics ( Looking especially at you Matt 120inna55 who takes crazy good photos) and even more after getting it and enjoying the shaves with it. Is it better/effective than any other Injector razor ? No, not really. But the experience in how something feels in your hand adds or takes away from the shave experience for me and I enjoy METAL tools. That's just me. I still enjoy the few other injectors I have but this is my favorite Injector. The Vintage Williams just gives such a nice shave and feel of a refreshed face when done. The Vintage Aqua Velva just adds to that and has a slight medicinal vetiver type scent to me versus the aquatic fresh scent you get from what we associate with Aqua Velva that's the Blue formula. Threw some modern EdT at the shave with the Spicebomb to wrap things up. My time will be limited here going forward as I handle some other things higher on the priority list (I know this is debatable) As some have said I will read ALL I can and use the like button too but posting may be down. It may take me a bit to wean myself off my forum addiction but that's the goal/need. Have a great day everyone !!

Thank you and sorry I missed this somehow, Cheers
Williams Wednesday
Wednesday April 7, 2021
Razor: Ever Ready 1914
Blade: Gem Personna SS (1)
Brush: Klenzo Boar
Soap: Vintage Williams
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Aqua Velva
Fragrance: Nautica Blue
Not much to say about the great lather from vintage Williams. I probably have enough backups for my grand-kids, if I had kids.....The Klenzo with the old and cheap Chinese Boar didn't shed a single hair meaning this one may stay in the brush. I has a HUGE glue bump but still a nice presentation for such a little brush and easily will build and hold 3 passes worth of lather. May need to clean up the handle and refinish at some point as well as Paint the white in the rubber part of the handle. This 1914 is a replacement head for the cased one I bought. If you follow along here you know it had a cockeyed head and while this one looked fine when the blade was loaded, in the end I noticed the same offset on this one. Maybe they are known for it. Still got a great smooth shave as expected but I wish it was straight. The Razorock handle paired well with it. It came in a small lot purchase so it was put to use because............................because I could and like how it looked. Have a Stupid Fun Day Everyone ! Po’ molested little razor. ?. Glad it shaved good.
Happy shaves to ya!
