Same set up as yesterday....if it works why change. The little tech is an amazing little razor. It will give our modern razors a run for their money.

O.K.....I need to admit something. I'm actually enjoying Williams challenge. This is turning out to be a fun little exercise. I think I'm going to stick with some older hardware. I have really come to appreciate the humble little Tech......the Volkswagen Beetle of the shaving world.
Happy Humday everyone!

Well, I knocked out another shave with the Williams puck Monday. At first I was not entirely sure but now that I have reviewed my stock I am certain the old puck I am using is one of my Williams Tonsorial Barber pucks...one that has seen a lot of use prior to now. This explains why it burst into lather if i just look at it with a tear in my eye. Seriously, this is awesome stuff.
It might be a violation of the natural order of things but I used some of the Master's Blue aftershave instead of Aqual Velva (becuase it was what i had handy under the sink). I did the old "splash it on the puck before you shower" trick and enjoyed the light scent while shaving, then topped it off with a splash when I was done. I will say this, whether its the masters blue or aqua velva you better be willing to committ to the scent for a good long time because it sticks around.
