Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #144
Enders Speed Razor
Enders Speed Blade
CWR
Florida Water

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 Brush. I did two passes with the Enders Speed Razor with an Enders Speed Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmat Allah al barakatu!

(Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessing of God!)

A barbershop-type shave with a Syrian twist:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 4
Hamol SC
Prep ASB
Booster Polar Ice AS Splash

This Hamol cream from Syria is absolutely brilliant - its scent (I finally figured it out!) is the exact same as the North American Williams soap, a little dab on both cheeks gives an insanely thick, rich lather, and it gives a small menthol sensation - like a gentle cool breeze on your face and wonderful moisturizing as well as soothing skincare. Did it ever feel great to use the Prep and the Booster Polar Ice aftershave when I was done. Two passes did a perfect job of ridding me of that rough stubble and left me with a gorgeous BBS face!
