08/01/20 WILLIAMS WEDNESDAY
Pre : Pears Original Transparent Brush: JR #355 Maggards Knot Soap: Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Razor: Kampfe Star - Jayaruh Box #23 & handle Blade: GEM PTFE S/S (7) Post Shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, Homemade Witch Hazel with added oils Balm: Homemade Bay Rum Argan Lotion Aftershave: Homemade Bay Rum Splash #02 My Original bowl lather was a little thin today in the little Turkish bowl as i must not have loaded enough, simple remedy was to reload the brush and carry on mixing, giving me plenty of good stuff after a little work. A 3 pass shave today with the Kampfe, 1st time ATG so i was a little careful, i do feel i am starting to get to grips with it though. I used my Bay Rum essential oil infused Argan oil as a post lotion and let it sink in as i cleaned the tools and sink, finishing with a good splash of my Homemade Bay Rum Splash. Resulting in a DFS+ finish, smooth and comfortable and smelling pretty good. I do enjoy a Williams Wednesday shave. Have a great Day All.

Williams Wednesday's ShaveCold Water Rinse Williams Mug Shave Soap Jayaruh #326 Russian SHaDE Personna Half DE CWR Florida Water My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #326 Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Russian SHaDE razor with a Personna Half blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

15/01/2020 WILLIAMS WEDNESDAY
Pre: Pears Transparent Original Brush: Vintage Butterscotch Culmak Plus Soap: Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Razor: Kampfe Star Lather catcher Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (2) Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, Homemade Witch Hazel Balm: Bart's Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine Balm & Lotion Aftershave: Williams Aqua Velva An involving 3 pass shave on Williams Wednesday, i was happy with my lather even though it was more "wet" than i usually like, it still held up well for the shave. I am still very careful when using my Lather Catchers as i am still in familiarisation mode. I do know i have shaved today and i did get some indication from the alum stone, the repair work started with a splash of Witch hazel infused with Bay Rum essential oil. The Post shave consisted of a face massage with the Barts Balm Lotion and i let it sink in. I then rubbed in a good dollop of the Barts matching AS balm and everything started to feel good again. The 1st time use of the Williams Aqua Velva finished off the shave and I was not sure what to expect, i like it, the overall post shave feel is good, i am not sure of the scent and i am getting a light menthol maybe. So a DFS finish and a good involving shave. Enjoy your day All.

22/01/2020 Williams WednesdayPre: Pears Transparent Original Brush: JR 355 Maggards Knot Soap: Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Razor: Blackland Sabre Blade: GEM PTFE S/S (4) Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, Homemade Neroli & Orange Witch Hazel Balm: Bart's Balm Bergamot & Vanilla Balm & Lotion A/S: Williams Aqua Vera Musk A very nice Williams Wednesday, 3 passes for a BBS finish. I have realised my earlier errors with the Williams, the puck is smaller therefore i need to load the brush longer, it worked a treat today, enough Williams for the shave. I also like the Williams Musk splash on its 1st time use. Feeling and smelling good. Enjoy your Day All.

I, too, had a great Williams shave today. However, it was with an unmentionable.

I have been letting work get in my way. This is a Williams Thursday shave with the Modern Williams and a favorite 1912. Just plain back to basics.

My Best Williams Lather to date, i may have overloaded a bit as i had plenty left over and it was nice & thick giving plenty of protection. 3 Passes for a top drawer finish, the post shave routine finishing off the experience. Very Nice. Have a great day All
