Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh #119 Synthetic
Gillette English Flat Bottom NEW
PolSilver Super Iridium Blade
CWR
Mennen Skin Bracer

The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #119 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette English Flat Bottom NEW Razor and the PolSilver Super Iridium Blade blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Wednesday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Junjie/Wilkinson Sword day 7
Godrej Menthol SC
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

It’s apparently going to be a hot day here in town so I decided to go with a good, chilly setup. The Godrej Menthol cream was reformulated so the scent is now clean, soapy, and it has some minty notes to it, the lather is fantastic, the menthol sensation is strong, especially during the second and third passes while the skincare is so soothing as well as moisturizing. The Prep, together with the Aqua Velva were a perfect finish. Another delightful three pass BBS shave that was so easy and enjoyable!

Be well and stay safe - happy shaving!

Anothr nice one today-repeating with the Barbasol/Fine Latigo team. Very well done in most areas. I didn't get as much as needed down at Cactus Nation(Central). That will change tomorrow, especially with the return of shavesoap&brush action. One pass. Goose-eggs on cuts, Knicks, Polka-Dots. The Fine Latigo was a nice closer. I'll have to order a matching shavesoap soon, but I think that can wait until fall. As for this morning-Most Outstanding.

 

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Cremo Original
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
Blade: Voskhod (2)
Post shave: Gillette Gel

 

I am sure I would like the matching aftershave. Since I am trying to use up my stash of aftershaves, I decided against buying it.
