Computer has been in the 'shop' for a few days, hence, no SOTD posts.
Friday:
Gillette Model #58 & Wilkinson Sword blade
Plisson #12 HMW
Trumpers Limes hard shave soap
D R Harris's Pink A/S

These mysterious WS blades have been doing a good job and seem to hold up pretty well but they are not LBs....I can tell.
