Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #18 Silvertip
RazoRock Black Hawk
Feather Professional
CWR
PSC Caffeinated AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #18 Silvertip brush. I did two passes with the RazoRock Black Hawk razor with a Feather Professional blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Wednesday

Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Scots Pine Sheep
Soap: RazoRock Tuscan Oud
Razor: Gillette Slim
Blade: Vintage Gillette Platinum Plus (20)
Brush: RazoRock/Zenith Chubby Extra Silvertip-28mmx51mm
Aftershave: RazoRock Tuscan Oud

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

RazoRock Tuscan Oud today. 20 seconds to load the RazoRock/Zenith Chubby Extra Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette Platinum Plus still in the Gillette Slim. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with RazoRock Tuscan Oud aftershave.

Midweek on Wednesday:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Rapira day 3
Brion Sensitive SC
Prep ASB
Reef Point Fougere Santal AS Splash

This Brion Sensitive cream is from Serbia and I received it a few weeks back along with some other nice stuff. I know a few guys who claim it’s a terrible latherer but I disagree. It takes a bit more effort to work up a good, rich lather but once you get it going it’s excellent. The scent is really nice, there’s a mild menthol sensation, and it’s got very good soothing. The Prep is so wonderful as an aftershave balm and the Fougere Santal aftershave from Reef Point was a gift from my darling wife - does it ever smell beautiful. What a cracking good shave this was!

 

Your wife is right!

A very pleasnt shave, notwithstanding beard was very short.
The Polsilver Iridium, that perplexed me, worked great on the Rocket!

Weber DLC razor
Treet King blade
Burma Shave boar brush
Windsor Shave Stick turned into puck w/2 drops M-Bomb
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Old Spice Fresh Lime A/S

Picked a whole bunch of stuff entirely unrelated to each other. The Treet King blade is one I've used before but a long time ago. Thought it was ok then and still do. One of the those blades that just work, not great but more than ok. The Windsor Shave Stick has been a problem for me. Can't get it to work as a stick at all. Grated it into a bowl and it worked better. Adding the M-Bomb helped it work very well and I'm finally happy with it. Just needed some more glycerin I think. The Old Spice Lime smells wonderful to me and my bride. That's a good thing. So, a fine shave was had. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Thanks Joseph!
