Williams Wednesday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Williams Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #18
Gillette Aristocrat
Gillette Super Stainless, “The Spoiler”
CWR
Thayer's Peach WH
Pinaud Vanilla

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 Badger brush. I did the two passes with the Gillette Aristocrat with a Gillette Super Stainless blade ("The Spoiler" R3, 1971) and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Another beautiful outdoor photo Chris. I thought you only had a Timeless Ti handle. I didn't realize they had Ti bases and caps. Looks great.

 

That was my mistake. I thought he was using the Core and not the Genesis version of the razor.

I started not knowing very much about this razor, so I feel that it all started with my lack of knowledge. However, if you want to take the blame Doc, well I couldn't stand for that either.
It all came out in the wash.

SOTD - 1 August 2017



Have a great evening!

 

You also Chris...

 

Nice setup today Doug. How many bowls do you have now?

 

Tonight's shave was with a razor that has been a headache since I bought it from a dealer in the UK. He polished the crud out of it, which could have something to do with it . It's a near wedge, that I just cannot seem to get a stellar shave off of. Just so, so, with smooth results. This one will go back to the basics. I will remove the mirror shine, and set the reset the bevel.
