    Cold Water Wash
    Jeeves of Hudson Street
    Jayaruh #305
    Joseph Elliot Wedge 6/8
    CWR
    Granddad's AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #305 brush. I did two passes with the Joseph Elliot Wedge 6/8 Razor and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Granddad's AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Shaves as great as a vintage and looks “Mesmerizing”... to borrow from my chosen Avon A/S :)
    Enjoy your shave!

    Thank you. Got caught napping on a Lewis Kamisori a few years back. Glad the stars aligned on this one.

    Today's shave was with an English Razor. I had a buttery smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues. Just a fantastic razor.

    Razor- "Witness", by Taylor. Extra Hollow Ground. Sheffield England.
    Brush- Wilkinson Sword Boar.
    Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented
    Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Triple Crown Decanter.

    What type of Finish did you use on the Taylor.

    If your talking finishing stones, i used Welsh Slate Stones, and finally the Arkansas Surgical Black. I don't own other real finishing stones, and these are what i learned on. So I think I've pretty much figured these stones out.

    I love the smooth Finish that A.J.'s 15K Welsh Slate puts on and edge . I find that some Sheffield blades can not handle a Surgical Black edge .

    Shave #17 on the Filly 14 edge longevity test, still shaving great - stropping only. Cream was Floris 89 lathered with a Tulip 3 2-band, topped with a little Thayer’s Rose Petal and later, a little Floris 89 EdT. Very nice combination on a cool, damp Sunday morning.

    Cheers, Steve
