Williams 3017: Day 3

Great shave today. I'm pretty sure the only think keeping the modern Williams from being a much thicker lather is the locally hard water. Don't get me wrong, it is good, slick and very useable, but I feel it could produce a slightly better consistency with out the mineral laden KC water. Perhaps I'll try use some bottled water as a test. BBS, no problems.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

EXCELLENT shave this morning! Popped the #4 plate on the 6S and three passes later (no touch-ups), dang near BBS results (I don't actively chase that rabbit). The Nivea "Vanilla and Bourbon" paired well with the Hemingway cream. Finished with a spray of Viktor & Rolf "Spicebomb". Excellent!!

Hope you have a great day! :)

Touched up my Genco Easy Aces on the Ancient Ocean Jasper. Gave it 30 slow laps under running water until it was sticking all over.

Great BBS today, as I continue to dial in the modern Williams mixed with Skin Bracer and Osage Rub.
