As most Old School Wet Shavers, I strongly believe that a superior quality shave can be obtained with very cheap shaving items. During this week just add in your shots your very best, inexpensive tools! And, as always, have fun!

RESULT: It's shaves like this that made me want to use a straight in the first place! The SRD/Bomb uberlather is a luxury in it's own right. And these two just go together like a 1960's Haight Ashbury Head Shop sponsored Love Fest. Between the strong patchouli vibe and the floral undercurrent, there's no way not to let go of your inhibitions in the shave den. When you combine it with this awesome blade restored by Neil Miller, you just know the day's gonna be great. My face was left smooth as a baby's butt after 2+ passes. It all got tied together with a phenomenal vintage scent from Guerlain, leaving me ready to take on the world!

I think this shave qualifies! Getting good shaves with this blade. I wonder if I damaged the first blade taking it out of the dispenser, because it was awful. New Willams tomorrow!
