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.

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.

Good line up of fine shaving products Tim. I also appreciate your link to the location you purchased the gear from. Nice touch.
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. Razor- "The Highly Popular Kohinoor" Brush- B400 By Tom Soap- MWF Aftershave- Avon Spicy

Thanks Doug, brush is actually a boar but I do have two other identical handles one is badger the other is badger/boar mix. All 3 of them are great brushes
