I love learning that what I'm assuming is aftershave is labeled in that straightforward German way, as 'razor water' and with 'razor soap' to match.

Looks like it's a Tondeo. Did a bit of searching around, and it looks like while they still make straight razors, they don't produce this nifty flip top DE anymore. Can't seem to find what they named that beauty though.

 

OCtober!

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh #206 2-band badger
AutoStrop A1
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Vanilla AS

The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #206 two-band Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A1 with a Personna GEM SS PTFE gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Vanilla After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Minora day 8
MSC Citrus Melody SS
Prep ASB
MSC Citrus Melody AS Splash

Brrrrrrrrrr cold and beautiful - my man Fernando is a true soap and aftershave master. His Citrus Melody soap has such a gorgeous scent, the tallow formula gives it such awesome lather with great slickness, the menthol sensation is so strong that it’s almost (but not quite!) competition for the Stirling Glacials, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep and the Citrus Melody aftershave left me so soothed, moisturized, and FROZEN STIFF. Three passes gave me a perfect BBS shave!

Wishing you all a good day - be well and safe!
