It was a super shave. I feel sorry for folks that do not enjoy these kind of shaves often. The B-400 is just super. Feels great with that big ole boar knot.
Thursday's Shave Proraso Pre Shave Williams B-400 by Tom Henckels Rapide Henckels Wedge CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Pinaud Vanilla I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the B-400 badger brush. I did two passes with the Henckels Rapide Razor with a Henckels wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

11 January Pre-Shave: Hot Shower Brush: 25mm Synthetic, Maseto Shaving(MS) Soap: Arko/Williams mix, Homemade Stick Razor: Superior 1900 Handle: Jim Reproduction Blade: PAL (13) Post-Shave: Cold Water rinse and Clubman Aftershave Photo: This is the same setup as I had on 3rd January but today it was done at home in the other bathroom that is now being shared with 3 other adults. Three passes left me with a DFS. I may have to go get some more blades from the store before the master bathroom is done though, "Oh whoa is me".
I am willing to dodge a few bricks from Fuzzy for using my Arko/William mix, cause it's just THAT GOOD!

I asked Jack if we could explain and hip folks over here to the brick, and maybe they could understand the tradition and "truth" concerning the "Brick"....but this is what he said,:
Friday's Shave Proraso Pre Shave Williams Mug Shave Soap B-400 by Tom Heljestrand Henckels Wedge CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Pinaud Vanilla I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the B-400 badger brush. I did two passes with the Heljestrand Razor with a Henckels wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... This will be my last shave with the Heljestrand. It finished very well. I got a great shave. It makes picking a favorite of the two very hard. I think though that I prefer the Henckels' comb to the Heljestrand's. As far as the quality of shave goes, it is a toss up. The blade today seemed better than the last time I shaved with it. I just stropped in on the leather about 40 times and put it away to send on Monday. Tomorrow, I will return to straights, but Sunday, the Henckels will be up for my last shave of the Pass Around. Thanks again, @twhite , for this fantastic opportunity.
