Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #458 Synthetic
Gillette 195 E2
Gillette Silver Blue Blade
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Duru Cologne

The Williams Mug Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #458 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette 195 E2 razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Duru Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Wednesday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Delmy SC
Lubriderm Moisturizer
F&C Shambala AS Splash

It’s been quite a while since I last used the Delmy cream so I decided to go with it today and I’m happy that I did. It’s a very cheap Indian cream with a really nice scent, it’s a great latherer, it’s pleasantly mentholated although not a face freezer, and it’s so gentle on my skin. The Lubriderm moisturizer gave me lots of soothing, and the Shambala aftershave smells beautiful in a citrus way - not to mention how mentholated it is. Another three pass BBS that I enjoyed so much!

Have a great day!​

 

Thanks. The scent is definitely there, but to me it's on the mild side. I would call it medium. It's sort of a tobacco flower type scent. Think Alt Innsbruck, if you're familiar with it, but milder. A much milder scent for me is the Tobacco #2. If it didn't say tobacco on the label I wouldn't know what it was. I would repurchase the #1, but not the #2.
