I forgot all about the Personna blades. There was most of a tuck buried under a bunch of soaps in a basket. I quite like them.

It's been a while (almost a year?) since I've used Williams. That's because I forgot to put it on my alphabetized list of soaps, which I refer to for soap rotation.
I've been keeping it in an Old Spice mug, with a Duncan Hines icing container cap for a lid. It was quite dried out.
Also, Old Spice mugs are not the greatest for charging a brush from, unless it's something like a Wee Scot. I should move it into a TOBS tub, or something with sloped sides. Then keep it wet enough to become more of a croap.
Ooh - I should divert some of it to make a Caprina/Williams Frankencroap.

Razor: Wolfman WR1 Stainless Steel SB (.94mm) on a Wolfman Darwin Handle

With the .94 gap, the WR1 is the closest thing to shaving with a straight yet IMHO.

At this gap, it's a more aggressive shave than a WR2 or the LASSC BBS-1.

The last surviving clipper ship, the Cutty Sark, was launched on this date in 1869
And I put together a plastic model of it, painted and with rigging and sails and all, at a work bench in our garage, when I was around 10 years old. What an ordeal.
