    Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Williams Mug Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #1 Badger
    3D GemTR v1 Razor
    Personna GEM SS PTFE
    CWR
    Cella After Shave Balm

    The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #1 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 3D GemTR v1 Razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    This is a very cool razor. I took these pictures after my second pass. It is a lather catcher.

    I had a nice few days with the oft neglected Shar Star. It has inspired me to cycle through some other neglected tucks in the den.
    Have a great day all!

    Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/new Astra Green
    Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo SS
    Prep ASB
    Osage Rub AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel Parfum

    Frozen to the max from this all out menthol bombardment - the Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap was discontinued and I wish it would come back because it’s so delightful. The scent is so gorgeous, it’s such a pleasure to lather, the menthol sensation is so potent, and the skincare is perfect. Needless to say the Prep worked beautifully to moisturize and soothe my skin, and the Osage Rub aftershave gave me a wicked freeze of its own. The new Astra Green blade in the Junjie performed perfectly so I got an awesome three pass BBS shave that was rapturous!

    Be well and safe![​IMG]

    a SLIM.GEM shave

    Soap: Noble Otter - Barrbarr
    Brush: Handmade synthetic #375 by @Jayaruh
    Razor: GEM 1912
    Razor: Gillette SLIM
    After-shave: Noble Otter - Barrbarr

    These two razors are the ones that got my collection started. They also introduced me to a wet-shaving community full of great people who contribute, share, and educate. Yet, another little thing to be thankful for.

    SOTD: 24th November 2022.

    thurs 4.jpg

    Shaving recipe for today.

    Prep: Warm shower:/ Nivea Men Power Shower Gel.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face.
    Palmolive Naturals Olive & Milk Bar Soap.
    Brush: Yaqi 24mm Naples Tuxedo Synthetic.
    Face Lather.
    Lather: Lea Shave Stick.
    Blade: Treet Trig Silver Edge. (D2) (Green cover)
    Razor: Baili BD 191.

    Post:
    Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse. Cold Water Face Rinse. / /Alum Rub. /Cold Water Rinse. Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel. / Cien Aqua ASL + Sensitive ASB.

    Greetings,

    Early Morning Shave,
    An enjoyable smooth mild shave to finish my shaving week off.

    All of the razors i have used throughout the week have provided me with comfortable mild yet efficient acceptable error-free shaves. The star clone razor of the week was the Kanzy K100 of which will be added again to my razor rotation in my up-and-coming SOTD's.

    Like the K100 & BD177, the Baili BD 191 has a "closed head design "which gives extra protection and risk of catching my ear lobes or under my nose with the blade ends when shaving.

    The weight of the razor makes it 'bottom heavy 'due to the hefty weight of the handle, which does all the work with no pressure needed when shaving.

    My only small gripe with the Baili BD 191 is the handle is slippery when wet. Nevertheless, it's still a great everyday shaver.

    A comfortable 2 pass + pick-ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Sensitive ASB.

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

    Keep safe and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

    Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Astra Green day 2
    MSC Frosted Bay Rum SS
    Prep ASB
    MSC Frosted Bay Rum AS Splash

    OMG, once again is my face ever frozen and I mean FROZEN thanks to Fernando’s Frosted Bay Rum soap and aftershave. By the way, this stuff has the most GORGEOUS bay rum scent I ever experienced - it’s perhaps a bit less clovey than most other bay rum scents and a bit more spicy. The soap’s tallow formula promotes such thick, rich, mega slick, protective lather, the menthol sensation hits hard especially during the second and third passes, not to mention how soothing and gentle the postshave care. I enjoyed my massage with the Prep so much, and the Frosted Bay Rum aftershave went on so icy cold along with its delightful scent that has great staying power. Three passes gave me such a pleasurable BBS shave!

    Happy belated Thanksgiving Day - be well and safe![​IMG]
