Williams Wednesday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Williams Mug Soap Bunny B-400 by Tom TAR by Tom Gillette Silver Blue CWS Pharoah's Dreamsicle AS The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with Bunny B-400 by Tom badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TAR by Tom with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pharoah's Dreamsicle AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Feeling a little Strange and Defiant These two scents don't necessarily compliment each other, but I like them both. The shave was superb - Dr. Jon's vol 3 formula has a very nice post shave feel to go with their vegan skin friendly lather. The Model T continues to impress. Rating: 5 / 5 Razor: Rockwell Model T Blade: Voskhod Brush: Lutin Chubby Lightning Lather: Dr. Jon's Strangelove, or how I stopped worrying and learned to love the shave Aftershave: Dr. Jon's Defiance Additional Care: Tabac Hair Creme WSP Tobacco Beard oil
Another road shave. Well as hastily as I packed up to move out I was still able to grab some good stuff. The General HAS become a serious contender for “No. 1” status. Still loading up with the same Schick Proline AC blade now on its fifth shave. Great razor and quite impressed with the performance of the Proline blades. Soap in the kit is Dr Jon’s Flowers in the Dark (V3). Love the scent and this time around used a bit more water to get the lather going. Perfect. Also quite impressive for a vegan soap base. Over two and most certainly three passes the General is quickly dwindling down the competition it has in my collection. BBS in two is impressive with such a mild shaving razor. Well now to work! Happy mid-week shaves! Rating: 5 / 5 Razor: Colonial General SS Blade: Schick ProLine Brush: APShave Co. 24mm Silk Smoke Lather: Dr Jon’s Flowers in the Dark V3 Aftershave: Dr Jon’s Flowers in the Dark Additional Care: B.I.G.

05 February 2020 Very satisfying shave this morning. Beardless for 4 days now and my facial skin is just about back to where it was when I shaved every day. The Black Bay soap is rather interesting. The first thing one notices is the green color...both the soap & the lather. Not crazy about the scent, but the performance is top notch. Great post-shave feel, probably due to the vegetable charcoal. I usually try to match my aftershaves with the soap (especially the RazoRock line) but if the AS has a scent close to the Black Bay soap, I'll take a pass and go with the VIBR. Soap: RazoRock Black Bay Brush: Semogue 620 boar Razor: Fatip Grande Blade: Gillette Nacet (4) Aftershave: Pinaud VIBR
