Another new soap that didn't fail to satisfy.. the only downside to this shave was that I pushed the blade one shave too many, but the Mazagran handled it like a champ to be honest.. plentiful lather, great glide and protection, and a lovely post shave feel. Yeah, couldn't fault it.

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #18
3D GemTR v1 Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Citrus Musk Cologne

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #18 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 3D GemTR v1 Razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Greetings,

Last early morning shave and working shift of 2022 before I break up for the Christmas holidays until the 9th January 2023!...I've hardly taken any of my holidays this year so I'll have a nice long relaxing Christmas break.

To compare the Gillette Winner Platinum with the Stainless I used in my previous shaves I find the stainless more assertive & smoother. However, both blades gave acceptable shaving results.

A very comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
