Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Williams Mug Soap
Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger
Supply Provision
Schick Proline B20
CWR
Clubman Pinaud AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Soap face lathered well with the Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger brush. I did two passes with the Supply Provision Safety Razor with a Schick Proline B20 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Clubman Pinaud AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

SOTD Stirling September 19th


Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .84-P
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Permasharp Stainless
Brush: Doug Korn Stubby (35mm, Carrier Class)
Soap: Stirling Pumpkin Spice
AS: Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB

A slight detour from SEptember. I got the new Game Changer .84-P base plate in yesterday and couldn't wait to give it a go. Also I recently got in some fall themed samples from Stirling so decided to give Pumpkin Spice a try too. This month I've been getting amazing lathers from Stirling and this morning was no exception. I decided to face lather this morning, because well, face lathering with a 35mm knot is pretty fun. I had gobs of super shiny, slick, dense, yogurt like lather in no time. Pumpkin Spice smells like pumpkin pie, and that's ok to me. Now I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving! Back to the shave. With the increased .84mm blade gap and slightly more blade exposure the Game Changer really performs like an ultra premium razor. During the shave I kept thinking man this is smooth, but its really efficient too! Two passes with a little touch up brought home the baby! For those that have a Rex I would say its comparable to setting 4.5, and just as smooth! Ill give the GC another go on Friday before I return to SEptember, but based on first impressions the .84-P base plate was what the Game Changer was always meant to be. Have a great day my friends!

 

Today’s SOTD.

First use of the Dorco Titan blades today. They seemed okay. Not as good as some blades and not as bad as others.

Have a great day!​

 

Today's shave was a Japanese Razor, dug out of the box. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me with a DFS, no touch-ups. Very sharp Silver Steel Razor. The shave would have been more enjoyable, without the Heel Smirk. I will address that at a later date.


Razor- "Kikuboshi 800". Kummel Best Hollow Ground Silver Steel. Takahana.
Brush- RazoRock 400, WD High Mountain Badger
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood scented
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Ships Flask decanter.
