    Shaving recipe for today.



    Prep: Warm shower / Sanex Men ~ Sensitive Soap Free Shower Body & Face Gel.


    Pre:

    Cold wet flannel to my face.

    Pears ~ Transparent Soap Bar.

    Brush : Semogue 1438.

    Bowl Lather.

    Tesco's Ceramic 'Cosmo' Side Bowl.

    Soap : (Modern) Williams Mug Shaving Soap.

    Blade: Tiger Platinum. (3)

    Razor: 1950's Gillette Ball End Tech. (US)


    Post:

    Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade lavender eucalyptus, +Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./ Williams ~ Aqua Velva ASL. (Spanish Version.)

    Wilko ~ Men's Moisturiser.


    Greetings,

    I haven't used the Williams Mug Shaving soap for a while and have forgotten how a good slick protective lather can be achieved from it with added time and patience.

    My method of using it is a five minute bloom in tepid or cold water, either gives the same results. Next i pore the bloom water over the tips of my damp brush then mix for 2 minutes until i get it to the consistancy i like.

    I find williams & other hard soaps such as MWF, Scottish Fine shaving soap,+ Tabac work best when using them on a regular use.

    My fondness for this classic old school in-expensive shaving soap grows with each shave.The post shave feel it delivers is superb.

    I've yet to have the pleasure of trying the vintage Williams which i assume will be even better.

    My vintage Gillette ball end tech performed with excellence and paired up wonderfully with the Tiger Platinum resulting in a comfortable 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.

    Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Wilko ~ Men's Moisturiser.

    My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

  6. See you can? ;)

    The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #206 2-band badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Original TNNSER razor with a Personna Gem SS PTFE SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
