Williams Wednesday's ShaveCold Water Wash Williams Mug Shave Soap Jayaruh #270 RazoRock Black Hawk Feather Professional CWR Tabac AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #270 brush. I did two passes with the RazoRock Black Hawk Razor with a Feather Professional SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

"O" Clone injector razor Personna blade Maison Lambert Silver Tip brush Williams SS (modern) Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe M&L FLorida Water cologne
Another nice shave with the "O" clone razor. Easy to use, perhaps a bit mild but ended up with a nice shave. The M/L silver tip is a big brush but does make a nice lather that it gives up pretty easily. I'm happy with it so far. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Pre : Cold water face wash,Brush: Shavemac 2015 TSR 24mm STSoap: MdC Fougere (sample)Razor: Gem MMOCBlade: Treet Super CSPost: Cold water rinse, Pitralon Classic ASLThe first thing that struck me with this sample was the sublime scent, and when lathered the scent softens and becomes even nicer. I found it easy to lather, not something I can say about many samples, and the lather was very nice, cushioning and slick. Where it falls down for me is the post shave. I don't find it drying but nor do I find it nourishing. I may be tempted to buy a tub for the scent alone. It is expensive initially but because you only need a little to create a rich lather it probably works out cheaper than some. Happy Shaving one and all.

Wednesday 15th August Heno de Pravia glycerine soap pre-wash - Cadman Custom - OSP Bay Rum (Original Prototype) - Ever Ready 1914 - GEM SSC #7 - Alum - Electrif’s Bay Rum - Dove Instant Hydration Cream Smooth, close and comfortable. Nice to achieve the expectation. I was lucky to be one of James's testers, back in 2016. This soap was one of the first prototypes. It was then that we knew this was going to be a winning formula. I'm patiently looking forward to James's tallow based cream.

Had an Italian inspired shave. Both prorasso products are of italian origin. The razor was sent to my by a kind member here from Italy, and the Omega brush, again an Italian product . Easy effortless shave Attachments:

Wed 15th Aug Omega 11126 Cyril Salter Solid soap King Cobra Schick Proline [ 2 ] Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion My second outing with the King Cobra, this time fitted with a shorter handle. This Shave was much better as i probably exerted less pressure. Got things right around the neck this time.but not so good around the edges of the mouth. I can see this being a regular in my AC/SE rotation, at the expense of the lighter ones.

Pre: Cold water face wash, Brush: Omega 11407 Badger/Boar Soap: Monsavon Razor: Colonial Brass General Blade: Feather Pro Super Post: Cold water rinse, Epsilon Blue Med ASL
Another day another new to me French soap and this time it's one I've purchased and it didn't come cheap. Okay it did, very cheap in fact, £2.20 for 125g. Okay, okay I had to buy some other things to make the postage worthwhile and I'd never eaten Rillettes before so what the heck! As I always say: in for some soap in for some slow cooked shredded meat. Okay, okay, okay, I've never said that before in my life but you get the idea. Well I'm very impressed with the soap and the Rillettes are delicious so money well spent, a face well shaved and a palate delighted. Talking of money well spent, the Epsilon ASL is very nice indeed.

Schick N. A Shick E3 Both great shaves!!

Thur 16th Aug Vulfix 404 mixed Faena Sandalwood Mongoose B3 Feather Pro [ 3 ] Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion Quite a nice Shave today as the blade seemed to have mellowed with use. Though the soap has rather lost its scent the lather is excellent, and was whipped up with ease by the 404 which seems have lost its popularity but is still a useful brush.

"O" clone injector razor Personna blade Maison Lambert Silver Tip brush Taconic Eucalyptus Mint SC Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Taconic Eucalyptus Mint A/S
Nice sounding set up, ok shave. The "O" clone is a really really mild shaver that makes me have to do an extra pass but that's ok. Really liking the Maison Lambert Silver Tip brush, it's big and heavy but makes a great lather and is soft as can be. I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks.
