    Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 10
    Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
    Prep ASB
    Master Splash Creations Frosted Spearmint AS Splash

    This Yaqi Barber Pole synthetic brush is one hell of a beauty and what a lather maker it is. The Glacial Electric Sheep soap literally buried my face in such thick, rich, slick, fragrant, bitter cold lather which had my eyes tearing and the mutton tallow formula of this soap promotes perfect skincare. There’s nothing like a nice massage with the Prep to make you feel great afterwards, the Frosted Spearmint aftershave not only freezes your face to the moon it smells so gorgeous. Another shave from the Garden of Eden that was fit for a king!

    Have a great day - stay healthy and safe!

    Williams Wednesday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Williams Mug Soap
    SlimGem Silvertip Badger
    x2 Gillette Tech
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Vegetal AS

    The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with the SlimGem Silvertip Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the X2 Gillette Tech razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Awesome first shave with the Pearl Flexi Adjustable. There were no alignment issues, and the shave at level #4 was smooth and efficient -- BBS in two passes with a little touch up. IMHO this is a first-class adjustable razor. It’s a keeper!
