Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #321
Schick M-2 Adjustable
Personna
Gem Damaskeene 1912
Sha-Ve-Zee SE
CWR
Barbasol Brisk AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #321 brush. I did the first pass with the Schick M-2 Adjustable razor with a Personna blade. Then I changed over to the Gem 1912 with a Sha-Ve-Zee SE blade for the second pass. Today is patent day for the 1912. I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Barbasol Brisk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Today is Patent Day for the Gem 1912.

My midweek SOTD:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 7
Bundubeard Rooibos SS
Prep ASB
Booster Mosswood AS Splash

Although the 7 AM got tired right from the beginning it gave me one last hoorah with a fabulous BBS shave. My dear friend Jaco Grobler in Pretoria, South Africa makes some of the best soaps I ever used. This Rooibos lathers like a maniac, its scent is very sweet with herbal notes, and the skincare is fantastic. The Prep and Mosswood aftershave were a perfect finish!

Enjoy your day!

 

nice set up and pic sir..

 

very nice , love the cards sir..

 

Thank you, Gary. Bad lighting goes a long way...

 

mine always have a glare. when i don't use the flash it looks grainy.

 

Thanks! I forget who said the following, but it is so true for a lot of us older folks...

"I was a millionaire before my mom threw out my baseball cards."

I still have a few decent ones left and tomorrow's shave pic will feature some real old cards. I have several cards from the early 20th century that used to come in cigarette packs. The 3 for tomorrow are my favorites. Famous double play combo of Tinker to Evers to Chance.

 

i had a large bag full of 70s hockey cards. not that valuable but....
