Prep: Hot water, b&bw Rosewater body oil massage
Soap: TOBSS Eton College
Razor: Flic “High Class “
Brush: Made Rite #82 Badger
Post: Hot water rinse followed by cold water rinse.
Aftershave: Witch hazel/Nivea face cream topped off with Col Conk Amber

First use of the cream thanks to Chris aka @Bama Samurai . Lovely scent, excellent lather! I’m really getting an affection for creams as the slickness really pares well with the straight razor

As I understand the general rules for folks on a No Buy Plan - you can replace used up consumables with the same product without defeating you commitment. Do you have enough other post shave juice to carry you through the next 11 months and a week?

Arko is some good lather, though some folks get a drying effect after using it. Now that the scent is fading you have the option of grating it and mixing in an AS to tune the scent!

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Williams Mug
JR#217 Synthetic
J.A. Henckels Rapide
J.A. Henckels wedge
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the JR #217 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the J.A. Henckels Rapide razor with a J.A. Henckels wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Today's shave was with a fantastic Wedge. I had a smooth and silent 2 pass shave, that left me near BBS. This Razor might be my best shaving Wedge Razor, that I own, so far.

Razor- "Pipe Razor", Geo Wostenholm & Sons. True Wedge.
Brush- B400, By Tom
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented.
Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

Magical shave with my W&B tonight. First shave off a refresh and it made the tough stuff easy. Feather light touch up strokes just gliding on the skin simply wiped away anything left.

Happy shaving - Karl

Date: 24 January 2018

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Brush:- Maseto 2 Band Finest Badger Beehive 30/55mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Tabac
Bowl:- Captain's Choice
Frankenrazor:– Muhle R41 v2013 head with Bulldog Handle
Blade:- Astra Superior Platinum #1
Post-shave:- Thayers Witch Hazel / Lucky Tiger Aftershave & Face Tonic
Fragrance:- L'eau D'issey Pour Homme

I don't normally take photo's of my SOTD very often too much bloody hassle.

Time to bring out the Tabac because it's been nearly 6 months or more untouched in my den, when I open the lid the poor bastard has been stone dry with cracks all over the puck, and has shrunk about 10mm smaller inside the ceramic dish just like in a hot desert screaming for water.

OMG!! I keep forgetting how much I love the smell of Tabac just like an old swag, and you can't keep up with this old girl smoking cuban cigars every day but you gotta love Tabac in your den.

Yes, I'm confidentr I'll make it. I have 3 "go to" aftershaves that I'm sure I'll "go to" quite frequently, but other products as well(soaps, aftershaves, creams). I'm not worried about the Clubman Original, as I'll go to CVS to replace that.

Excellent shave today. I dialed down the Vision a bit and now it's smooth and comfortable with a Personna Platinum on it's third shave. I enjoy the scent and lather and my face feels great.

Excellent shave with the Gillette Sensor 5 this morning. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

I feel like I got a great shave at a 1970's barbershop after using this Rockwell Razors soap. It sure smells barbershoppy, it lathers like a beast, and it feels pretty comfortable afterwards. I enjoyed the Polar Ice a lot because it partners very well with this soap!

Have an awesome day!
