Another wet and cold day along the two rivers. Although that big shiny thing showed up late in the afternoon for a bit. Sure wish I could figure out what it is. Anyway, another fine day out chasing hungry people through a plague. Who says life can't be fun, eh? I come home smelling like sanitizing wipes and rubbing alcohol. At least nothing should be sticking to me that shouldn't be. Always nice to hit the time to shave, which tonight came after a dinner of homemade ham and beans with homemade cornbread. Does it get any better than that?????

The shave tonight was round two with the Luxor Pro and half a Sharp Star. Another night with El Caballero and the JR46 to make sure the lather was perfect. No issues on three passes. Smooth, very nice DFS finish and only a slight bit of irritation on my neck. I got just a tad carried away there. All in all, a good Tuesday. Hump Day tomorrow, gentleman. Let's go get it!!

Love that brush.

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh #395 two-band badger
Supply V2
Schick Proline
CWR
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #395 two-band badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply V2 injector razor with a Schick Proline blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
