    Williams Wednesday's Shave

    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Williams Mug Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #144
    Enders Speed Razor
    Enders Speed Blade
    CWR
    Florida Water

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 Brush. I did two passes with the Enders Speed Razor with an Enders Speed Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  9. Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmat Allah al barakatu!

    (Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessing of God!)

    A barbershop-type shave with a Syrian twist:

    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Wilkinson day 4
    Hamol SC
    Prep ASB
    Booster Polar Ice AS Splash

    This Hamol cream from Syria is absolutely brilliant - its scent (I finally figured it out!) is the exact same as the North American Williams soap, a little dab on both cheeks gives an insanely thick, rich lather, and it gives a small menthol sensation - like a gentle cool breeze on your face and wonderful moisturizing as well as soothing skincare. Did it ever feel great to use the Prep and the Booster Polar Ice aftershave when I was done. Two passes did a perfect job of ridding me of that rough stubble and left me with a gorgeous BBS face! 868AD3A2-262C-49CA-9721-2AA2666FD544.jpeg

    Started the blade test: the winner will flank the Kai's for the rest of my life.

    Will be changing razors and soaps to get closer to real daily use.
    Tested also the Petrichor: omygosh!
    Wonder hoe B&M ever thought to 'that' smell!
    But... if they still sell it it means they know what they are doing!
