Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #41 two-band badger
Treet Baton Handle Razor
Personna Gem PTFE SS Blade
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Musk After Shave

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #41 2-band badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Baton handle Treet Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva Musk After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Wednesday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Rapira day 8
Captain Nemo Shepherd SS
Thayer’s Lavender Witch Hazel
Aveeno Moisturizer
Booster Iced Lime AS Splash
Aramis EdT

In celebration of another shipment from India that’s soon coming to me I pulled out the Shepherd soap from Captain Nemo and I enjoyed it so much. Although it’s not a tallow based soap the lather whips up so beautifully as well as super slick, the scent is gorgeous, and the lavender essential oil is so relaxing both for my nerves as well as my sensitive skin. The Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel hardly has any scent but it feels great, and the Booster Iced Lime aftershave is a Canadian barbershop classic with a lovely old school scent. Finally a little Aramis and I’m good to go. I can’t believe how BBS my Canadian Tech shaved me this morning - wow!!!!!!!

Happy shaving - be well and stay safe!

A Floating Head with a smooth Astra is truly one of my favourite combos. It just doesn’t need a sharper blade than that. Awesome shave.
