Wednesday morning:

Hot shower
Frank Mini Brush
Junjie/new Rapira
Delmy SS
Prep ASB
Booster Polar Ice AS Splash

This Junjie is a very cheap DE that I bought at a dollar store here in town - it cost me perhaps $2.50 CAD, it’s very mild but it performs so efficiently, and I sent a few of them to friends of mine in Europe. The Delmy soap is from India and it’s so cheap there that even the poorest man can afford it. It has a beautiful old school barbershop scent, it lathers great, it gives good cushion although it’s lacking in slickness and in the skincare department - also the container is so small. My cute little Frank Mini brush with the Canadian and Israeli flag decals performed terrifically at whipping up my lather. The Prep soothed and moisturized my skin so well, while the Polar Ice aftershave completed the job superbly. The scent is so old school and nice - do I ever LOVE it. Another dynamite BBS shave that I really enjoyed!

Have a good day - be well and stay safe!

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger
Ever-Ready Army Kit
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Lilac Vegetal

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Army Kit and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Lilac Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Post:
Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse./Alum Rub./Cold Water Rinse. / Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel. /Denim Original ASL. / Boots Cucumber Moisturising Lotion.

Greetings,

Early morning shave.

Last use of the Derby Usta.. My reacquaintance with both the Derby premium & Usta throughout the week has been a pleasant surprise. Both blades have performed wonderfully with the efficient R41.

It's been a while since i last used the Omega shaving cream and forgot how much easy it is to create a slick protective lather, with a good kick from the Eucalyptus oil to give my ageing face sensors a vibrant late winter morning wakeup call!

A very comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Boots Cucumber Moisturising Lotion.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
