My very 1st shave was Sept. (1953), all peach fuzz, using a Gem or Pal SE, a mug/brush, my older cousin`s (he was teaching me) ended in a blood bath. This morning`s shave ended in the same fashion, with weepers all over. Today started like a `A bad day at black rock` Woe is me. I took the top blade out, and will try again in the morning. Mean while, I`ll look for their return policy. I did 2 full passes, WTG/ATG and a styptic pencil that I had to use all over my face. Finally finished up with my `Guard` and a pretty good shave. God Bless to all.

Sorry for the subpar shave, Bill. Hopefully tomorrow's shave treats you better!

 

It's a Williams Week!! (Day 2)

Parker 94r razor
Gillette Spoiler blade
Maison Lambert Silver Tip brush
Williams SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Colorado Sage cologne

Another nice shave with Williams SS. The Maison Lambert brush is really big and needs a lot longer to load but makes a nice lather very easily. It is really soft and feels so good on the face. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

'31 Wardonia/Supermax BDT. Superb.

Love the barber poles

 

Thanks Paul. Love the citrus aroma on this AS just wish it was the aroma was longer lasting.

 

Seems a shame when we have soaps&aftershaves that perform their duties well enough, but the fragances don't hang around the way we'd like.

Rex Ambassador (3,2) & Voshkod #2
RR BC 24mm Plissoft
WCS Artisan Oriental Jojoba shave cream
Thayers Peach W/H Astringent
Nivea Sensitive A/S lotion
WK Chypre Rose Concerto A/S splash

A dazzling shave today with the Rex. An amazing BBS finish from ear to ear. The WCS Oriental has a very nice spiced rose scent with a semi light vanilla like touch with a deep and rich woods scent. A lovely, lovely scented cream that was just a bit weaker than the Chypre that I used yesterday. Performance again, solid with a good lather that provides more than enough glide and protection. The Wholly Kaw splash was just icing on the cake. Have a great evening and great shaves Gents.... ​
