Happy Tuesday From Florida!

I have been using the same set up for many years. So long so, that I quit posting in the SOS thread. However, today, I felt compelled to post a shave, boring as it may be.

Rudy Vey handle
Frankensoap (Arko, Palmolive, Spieck, VDH, MWF)

I'd love to know what recent changes you're referring to. It would be great to see if we all align on the purpose.

 

many folks here have been posting for 10 + years,but you won't see a pic or regular post,just an opinion to your post,like they are experts judging your input.i get that having been posting for nearly 10 years as well..it gets boring..but if you are the man ,show your guns..play the game..

 

Thank you for replying Gary! Your initial post on this got my attention and resonated.

Best wishes,
Paul

Wednesday 2nd July
Ever Ready Streamline + GEM Stainless #6 + RazoRock Plissoft + OSP Tallow Cream Trial + Electrif's Bay Rum v2 + Aloe Vera Gel

 

Thank you for your excellent post. It doesn't look boring to me. I often do the two passes wtg/atg myself. Especially using an efficient razor. I have the 2013 R41, but I like my R89 Twist better.

Wednesday morning:

Quick shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 4
Williams Menthol SC
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash

This Williams Menthol cream is another top favourite of mine - not like the Noxzema but I always loved it. The scent is so nice, it lathers great, there’s plenty of cooling from it, and the postshave care is excellent. The Lubriderm moisturizer gave me lots of additional soothing, and the Aqua Velva Sport aftershave smells awesome not to mention how cold it is. Another terrific BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #462 Synthetic
Supply SE Injector Razor
Supply Black Label Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Florida Water

The Williams Mug Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #462 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE Injector Razor and the Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Wednesday Afternoon 02/07/2025

• Razor : Aylsworth Kopparkant 3 piece DE Brass 360 (Hong Kong).
• Blade : Bic Astor Stainless (1).
• Brush : Yaqi Ocean 28mm synthetic.
• Soap : Yaqi Psychedelie 1oz sample.
• Aftershave : Rasozero Pelli Delicate splash.
• Weight : 95 grams.

Hi all,
Brilliant shave this afternoon with the Aylsworth Kopparkant witch was no less than I expected from
this accomplished artisan.
The razor its self shares the same blade gap and exposure with the Apex SS pro with the plus plate.
The Kopparkant also has the + on the base plate.
In my opinion, comparing the two razors I think the Apex SS has a slight Edge in efficiency and closeness of shave over
the Kopparkant.
(Which may be my imagination as the razor head specs are the same. Though the head design is quite different.)
It still gave me a two pass BBS shave no nicks no irritation.

The Yaqi Psychedelie sample lathed up well with good cushioning and post shave feel.

Finished of very nicely with the Rasozero splash.

1 pass WTG/ATG done no nicks no worries.

Cheers.

 

Some really cool hardware on display here by everyone and it's only day 2 of July!
