The Williams I loaded to my brush just about held out for a solid two-pass shave. The Omega 66 boar did a fine job face lathering, squeezing the last of the lather out for the second pass.

As I move through my Big Guy non-adjustable Chubby Checker unmentionables, I selected an order that I assumed would be from least efficient to most efficient. It's not a surprise that my assumption is turning into fact. Also, generally the weight is increasing as well. The smoothness of the shave also seems to be improving. Tomorrow will be the last of the four and then I will repeat the cycle.

I recently picked up the Aqua Velva Ice Sport at an Ingles grocery store. This is the same place I found the Williams soap. Surprisingly they also carry the 6oz size of the classic Clubman Pinaud A/S. It's a shame that these items are getting harder to buy locally!
