Greetings,

A relaxing sunday morning shave.

The chinese cologne soap provided me with a wonderful protective lather in no time.

People are slightly wary of chinese shaving products of which i agree some i have avoided like the plague, as like many people i have been stung with some products in the past which have been for the want of better words, 'a dangerous pile of shite', but the two soaps i have purchased which are the Cologne & Blue's goat milk shaving soaps along with the Yaqi Katana & synthetic shaving brushes have been outstanding purchases...Even if the soaps don't show the ingredients i wouldn't hesitate to buy them again as they have performed superbly with no skin irritation issues or 'glowing in the dark' or have a developing extra eye in the middle of my forehead since i have started to use these shaving soaps...Another superb inexpensive shaving soap that performs way above it's price bracket.

A wonderful 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable/near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Sunday December 20, 2020
Pass 1 & 2 Razor: F4 Gillette Fatboy
Pass 3 Razor: Cooper Monobilt
Blade: Wizamet (2)
Brush: Stuart Timberwolf
Soap: Tonsorial Williams
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Aqua Velva
Fragrance: Azzaro Visit

Had a Williams shave setup with the Fatboy and forgot I was to use the Cooper razor after the Bigelow & Parkin Travel razor as the head with hinge is similar. Had the CG come in on loan for a shave and threw me off. Picture was taken already so just threw the Cooper in for pass 3. The Williams just gives a slick lather that will rival even the best Elite Modern soaps and it has a scent that is hard to describe.................I guess the best way to describe it is........................Soap. That's the only reason I don't grab it as often as I should. Well that and I'm down to 2 vintage pucks. 3rd on it's way thru the USPS. Hope everyone has a great day !!!

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
TSD Iced Lemongrass
Jayaruh #340 Badger
Ever-Ready Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Citrus Musk EdC

The TSD Iced Lemongrass Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk EdC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
