Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed7 AM day 10
Stirling Glacial Citron SS
Prep ASB
Stirling Glacial Citron AS Splash
Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

These 7 AMs……oh gosh, they’re decent blades but they don’t seem to have the same kind of longevity that most of my other blades have. True, I have a very tough beard but my Astra Greens last easily for two weeks and these 7 AMs seem to get duller after quite a bit sooner. I’ll see how this one performs tomorrow and then I’ll make a decision. The Glacial Citron soap lathered beautifully with my Yaqi Barber Pole, the scent is so delightful, the menthol sensation was killer cold, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable. The Prep and the Glacial Citron aftershave were a perfect finishing combination. The Eau Sauvage is a lovely fragrance that I’ve been using for many years - my mother in law gave it to me as a gift. Three glorious passes did the job for me - another great BBS shave that I enjoyed thoroughly!

Have a good day - be well and stay safe!

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #2 Badger
Gem Flying Wing
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Lilac Vegetal

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #2 Badger brush. Two passes without touch ups with the Gem Flying Wing and 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 then Lilac Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Number 2 Badger, a classic!
