Freshly honed blade(Sundays Blade). It gave a silky smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. It shaves like a Straight Razor, but with the Roller Guard, it was also like a very smooth safety razor. The Roller Guard works ver nicely. Similar to an open comb, but lets more soap get to the blade. Very smooth design. The only drawback is loading the blade, which requires you to be precise.

Razor- Wilkinson Sword "Albert Dunhill 7 day set"(aka Pall Mall)
Brush- @oscar11 Special, with synthetic knot
Soap- ARKO
Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse

Jayaruh #41 Badger
Rolls Traveler

CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Lustray Spice After Shave

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #41 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Rolls Traveler Razor and a 1953 Rolls Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Another very nice Shave with this Cart, shame that most blades that fit are in USA and purchases become quite expensive due to postage.

 

Wednesday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Rapira day 10
Gilly’s Lush Life SS
Prep ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Nice and cooling as well as refreshing - this Lush Life from Gilly’s Soaps in Durban, South Africa is vegan based, it has a beautiful scent which is very summery, it gives excellent lather that has plenty of slickness, it has a pleasant menthol sensation, and it’s very skin friendly. The Prep delivered so generously on the postshave care, and the Floid Vigoroso aftershave smells so delightful (to me!) not to mention how icy cold it is. Another three pass BBS work of art - what a great shave this was!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!
