Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap

Aqua Velva Musk AS

The Williams Mug Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 Two-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Enders Speed Razor and a Schick Proline B-20 Blade in a Enders Speed Razor Adapter gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Rapira day 10
MSC Frosted Spearmint SS
Prep ASB
MSC Frosted Spearmint AS Spray
Brut Deodorant Spray
Brut Cologne

My dear brother Fernando’s soaps are absolutely magnificent - in many ways they’re so similar to Stirling because of the beef tallow formulas which gives them such wonderful lather so easily as well as lots of slickness. This Frosted Spearmint soap smells beautiful - exactly the same as my brother Rod’s Glacial Spearmint and although it’s not as intensely mentholated it still gives a very good chilly punch as well as excellent skincare. The Prep is so cooling, moisturizing, and soothing, while the Frosted Spearmint aftershave smells exactly as lovely as the soap and its menthol sensation is killer cold. I couldn’t resist wearing a little Brut this morning because I wanted to smell old school. My Canadian Tech helped me get a helluva brilliant three pass BBS shave that was such a great pleasure!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

Greetings,

Another great inexpensive shave to end my shaving week off on a high.

The hefty efficient Parker 94R has performed wonderfully throughout the week with both Dorco PP blades.

The star highlight of this week was my Head/dome shave with the Gillette Guard at the weekend...I was pleasantly surprised by how good its performance & shaving ability was which was i have to say equal to my Injector razors. Very impressive indeed.

Another enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Wilko Men's Moisturiser.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Hi Friends,

Here my Wednesday Shave (10.05.2023)


Preshave: PAA Cube // Razor: Greencult V1 // Blade: Personna Med Prep // Soap: PAA Ciderhouse five // Brush: SOC Cherrywood Boar // Aftershave: self-mixed (Pinaud Clubman, Javon Musk, Ach.Brito Lavanda, a few drops of Lemon AS, Witch Hazel and Glycerin)

A good shave. I had used the Greencult V1 three times in total since i bought it. It felt too aggressive for my likings. Maybe it was the blade? I dońt think so because the Med Prep is so „soft“ and gentle in all other razors, that it made me wonder. Had 2 tiny bloodspots.

The rest? I LOVE the scent of the Ciderhouse five, easy one of THE best scents from PAA. The self-mixed Aftershave came out pretty well. I like the scent. It is a complete „Oldschool“-scent but due to the adding with a few drops of a Lemon AS it gets a fresh touch. I like it. This was just a tester for myself, buti think i need to mix up a bigger bottle after this one has gone. I like it a lot.

This was it for now.

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

Greetings
Thorsten
