Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #375 Synthetic
Valet VB2
Valet AutoStrop (23)
CWR
Dove Men+Care Post Shave Balm

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #375 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Valet VB2 razor with a Valet AutoStrop blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Dove Men+Care Post Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Great photo and setup Mark. Beautiful brush!!!

Awesome shave my friend!

Was it me who sent you the Williams soap a while back?

 

Wednesday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 3
Bundubeard Klipspringer’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Bleu de Chanel EdP

I feel like asking my man Jaco “Are you sure this Klipspringer is the mildest of your menthol soaps?” because the cooling sensation did NOT feel mild at all - in fact during my second pass it felt STRONG, and I was enjoying it immensely as I always do. I had so much rich, creamy lather that I could have done another two passes easily and the postshave feeling of this soap is brilliant. Thanks to the Prep and the Alcolado Glacial I feel like there’s an air conditioner blowing cold, soothing air on my face. Two passes for a cracking good BBS shave!

A top notch shave with one of the few creams I've hung onto.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Thanks Jeff....and yes you did. Two of them in fact.I still have one unopened (French on the packaging) The first one is long gone. I actually find Williams soap pretty good and have no problems with the lather and I am using a modern puck sourced from the US. I also have some of the Williams cream you used recently.....but have still to try it!
