Wednesday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 5
Bundubeard Rooibos SS
Nivea Cool Kick ASB
English Leather AS Splash

It looks like I’ll be using Jaco’s soaps for the rest of the week - the Rooibos has such a beautiful scent which is sweet with herbal notes, the lather reaches a thickness level that’s insane as well as amazingly slick, and it gives so much soothing skincare. The Nivea balm is a great performer although I don’t really care for the scent, but the English Leather aftershave covered it up right away, and it went on very comfortably. I enjoyed this shave so much and I turned out BBS!

Stay healthy and safe!

A sunny day brings me to confirm my decision to switch to lighter fragrances: I am hooked on these trifles to spend my time under house arrest.
The other help to survive keeping my mind safe is watching movies on the TV: yesterday night I was happy to see they were going to broadcast a pogonotomic film: 'Shave private Ryan'.
It was hard to figure out how to make a film on this subject, but wanted to give it a chance and watched it.

Beautiful movie, great actors and director, but... where had the shave gone?
Only later I realized I did misread the title...

But no mistakes in my personal shave this morning: a gear that could not fail!

Beautiful, Guy.

 

Beautiful, Sergio. I always thought Arlington was an exact dupe of 4711.

 

Sunny Wednesday
I am happy to support PBS through this set. The performance is typical of B&M, and the scent is a nice green spring fresh. I can pick out the bergamot and clover easily. It reminded me of Quercus, which turned out to be a nice compliment.

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh #401
Pal Injecto-matic
Personna
CWR
Mennen Skin Bracer

The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #401 brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Pal Injecto-matic with a Personna blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
