Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #270
RazoRock Black Hawk
Feather Professional
CWR
Tabac AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #270 brush. I did two passes with the RazoRock Black Hawk Razor with a Feather Professional SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Route 66 Bourbon Jungle today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor Manchurian White brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Schick Plus Platinum still in the Gillette Red Tip Super Speed. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Gentleman aftershave.

Oh, your business friends down there.

 

That Dorco is good with ANY type of blade, right?(Meaning any name brand).

 

Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 4
Stirling Gin+Tonic on the Rocks SS
Lucky Tiger AS Cream
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

That's more like it - what a lovely shave this was!

 

"O" Clone injector razor
Personna blade
Maison Lambert Silver Tip brush
Williams SS (modern)
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
M&L FLorida Water cologne

Another nice shave with the "O" clone razor. Easy to use, perhaps a bit mild but ended up with a nice shave. The M/L silver tip is a big brush but does make a nice lather that it gives up pretty easily. I'm happy with it so far. Now go enjoy your day folks.

An unbelievable easy, smooth 2 pass shave, WTG/ATG with very little clean up. I could have stopped at 1 pass, but I wanted to make sure. The Neutrogena is indeed a new formula, somewhat slicker, but mostly thicker, which is an improvement, for sure. God Bless and great shaves for all.
By the way, a really great shave.

Thought these two would go well together, yummy, yes?

 

Lovely shave with a Russian commemorating the first manned space flight. Smooth, sharp, no drama, nothing but Motherland goodness.

Pre: Cold water face wash,
Brush: Shavemac 2015 TSR 24mm ST
Soap: MdC Fougere (sample)
Razor: Gem MMOC
Blade: Treet Super CS
Post: Cold water rinse, Pitralon Classic ASL

The first thing that struck me with this sample was the sublime scent, and when lathered the scent softens and becomes even nicer.
I found it easy to lather, not something I can say about many samples, and the lather was very nice, cushioning and slick.
Where it falls down for me is the post shave. I don't find it drying but nor do I find it nourishing.
I may be tempted to buy a tub for the scent alone. It is expensive initially but because you only need a little to create a rich lather it probably works out cheaper than some.
Happy Shaving one and all.
