Williams Wednesday
Cold Water Shave
Brush: Simpson Duke 3
Soap: Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Razor: MicroMatic OC
Blade: Unknown Vintage (2)
Post shave: Cold water Rinse, Shower, Witch Hazel 
Balm: Bart's Balm Lime Balm & Lotion
Aftershave: Williams Aqua Velva Musk


I had a wonderful lather from the Duke 3 brush and Williams, cold water face lathered, i did load the brush longer than normal, saying that it is a small puck and it gave enough lather for 3 passes. 
I decided to try these Vintage blades again i got with the B2 Schick, they do seem a touch wider and most definitely thicker, everything looked OK in the razor head.
So to the shave, 
I could feel the blade cutting from the 1st stroke, again not smooth but not uncomfortable, i carried on and completed 3 full passes, that blade feel did not change, they are not a dull blade its just you can sort of feel it cutting if that makes sense.
When i rinsed off the final time and checked i did have a wonderfully smooth chin.
A very nice post shave to finish off. I changed from Tabac last minute.
BBS, feeling and smelling real good.
I have decided these blades are not for me and they will be banked.
Stay Safe and enjoy your day All.
