Razor : Aylsworth Apex SS plus plate. (Hong Kong)

Soap : Genuine Ogallala Bay Rum & Sweet Orange.
Bahm : Thayers witch hazel unscented.
Razor weight : 108 grams.
Hi all,
I had a superb shave tonight with the Apex SS I have had this Razor for about four months this is shave number five I think.
This razor is so smooth and efficient In my opinion I feel it shaves as close as the Black Bird SS but smoother with a little
less blade feel.
The weight of the razor is perfect as I feel like the its shaving by its self and I just guide it (Its really that good)
I have only used Wizamet's in the razor so far its just as good 1st and 2nd shave and only drops of a bit on the 3rd.
I am sure it will perform just as well with other sharp blades in my stash.
One pass WTG/AGT no touch ups.
Absolutely irritation free smooth as silk I didn't even need the Bahm but used it anyway.
Errol the (razor review guru) from paste & cut was right on the money its Superb.

The Genuine Ogallala Bay Rum & Sweet Orange is is a really nice soap it lathers up thick and doesn't dry out
with great cushioning and post shave feel.

Cheers.

Preshave = Proraso Wood and spice, Soap = Lea, Razorock 400 synthetic, Gillette No 66, Henckels super platinum chrome (2),
Nivea post shave balm finally finished

Superb shave with this lovely although relatively scent free soap. Easily slicked up with the RR 400 and great face feel. The No 66 and vintage Henckels allowed for more multidirectional attacks on the stubble with impunity

Hi Friends,

Here my Shave of the Day (05.03.2025)


Bowl: Captain ´s Choice Heavyweight Copper // Razor: DOVO Primo 2 // Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra (21) // Soap: Barrister and Mann Spice // Brush: Shavemac // Aftershave: Barrister and Mann Spice

Oh my oh my, what a great shave this was. Very gentle and so smooooth.

The Soap as well as the Aftershave smells amazing. Compared with the Original Old Spice from Shulton THIS is the absolute closest to the Originail. Outstanding.

Lathered up in my Copper Bowl the Shavemac had no problems and after 2 passes i was BBS.

No zinging or burning when applying the Aftershave, just pure skincare.

A 10 out of 10

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

 

Oh man, it was absolutely amazing. I had goosebumps all over and from time to time watering eyes because of the beauty of his sound and the atmosphere. If you like his music and you have the chance to watch him life, go get a ticket. You won’t regret it.

 

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #465 Synthetic
Gem Damaskeene
Personna Gem Stainless PTFE
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Lustray's Spice After Shave

The Williams Mug Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #465 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Damaskeene razor and the Personna Gem Stainless PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Lustray's Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Wednesday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 2
Noxzema Lather SC
Prep ASB
Booster Polar Ice AS Splash
YSL Pour Homme EdT

What a treat it was to use my Noxzema cream this morning - I started a brand new tube. I enjoyed this stuff so much for so many years before it was discontinued and when it came back briefly I scored a bunch of them and now I have three more which I REFUSE to part with. The scent is such a delight, (to me) it lathers beautifully, it’s well mentholated, and it cannot be beaten in the skincare department. The Prep has pretty much the same scent and it’s so cooling as well as soothing, and the Polar Ice aftershave has that awesome old school barbershop scent that I love so much. Finally the Yves Saint Laurent fragrance and all is in order. Another wonderful three pass BBS shave that was so much pleasure!
