Used the MLSW sample for 2 straight days. First day was so good I had to repeat just to make sure it wasn't a fluke (it wasn't!). Wow, this is some good stuff!
Another excellent shave by the UK Wilkie blade.

I've just taken delivery of a very sorry looking Fatboy which I'm intending to totally restore including a replate. So before I start I thought I'd better give it a shave!



Wow! What a shave. The Wickhams is such a great soap the big old Fatboy just slid round my face leaving a trail of smoothness .

Back from my holidays and I had a pretty grim time having developed a bad case of sciatica and being in constant pain and barely able to walk for eleven out of the fourteen days!

Is it better being in pain in the sun or in pain in the cold? Either way is sh*t!

Regards
Dick.

Used a new MLSW sample. Not sure about the scent, but no complaints about the lather quality. Got a yogurt-y consistency with zero effort, nice and slick.
Yet another excellent shave by the UK Wilkie blade.
