Will Ivan shave with any razor than a Rolls this week? Will Fuzzy use any thing but Williams to make lather this week? Who knows? But you can find out by their daily adventures in shaving and then posting about your own shaving adventures.  |

But you can find out by their daily adventures in shaving and then posting about your own shaving adventures. Touche! If I use other than Rolls I wouldn't be here because I can't post straight SOTDs  Williams is just an awesome latherer! I can't wait to include that in rotation again. It's interesting though how despite using same setup same day 1-2 little things changed be it soap/cream or methods in applying the lather can really affect the outcome of a shave. For instance, I've some creams that have softer texture that doesn't necessarily provide the best cushioning but decent nonetheless ( perhaps I don't use as much as other wetshavers ). Some with medium to hard texture would be a bit of improvement cushion-wise. |

Razor: Rolls Razor 2 #82 Brush: 7610 Cream: TOBS Sandalwood AS: AII Osage Shake 3x. 4 pass. 1min19. 2min 5. Dried 1st, 4th pass. Thick. Shed 3x. Total 22.  Shave #82. Drew blood on 3 same spots. Been tired past couple weeks now. Good shave in spite of the minute cut. Despite the hard texture of TOB Sandalwood it lathered fairly well. Cushioning was good. |

Razor: Rolls Razor Brush: 7610 Cream: TOBS Lavender AS: AII Osage Shake 3x. 3 pass. 4min47. Rework 1. Thick. Shed 7x. Total. 36  Shave 83 with the Rolls. No tugging nor scraping. Good shave today. Takes awhile to lather I wouldn't doubt any Boar would yield one less than half the time it takes for this. |
