Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #454 Silvertip Badger
Schick Krona
Gillette Silver Blue
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #454 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick Krona razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva Ice Blue After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning. Returned to Zingari Man and their excellent "Bon Monsieur" shave soap & splash. Great dupe of its namesake frag with excellent lather built with the Wild West Brushworks badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, the matching aftershave splash & Rogue "Bon Monsieur" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Zingari Man / Wild West Brushworks / Karve / Wizamet / Thayers / Rogue

Great before Passover Seder shave this afternoon. The post-shave feel is wonderful. Subtle Art Soap Co's shave soap is very slick.

The Seder is long over, the leftovers are put away, the dishes are done and now I'm sitting down to relax. I hope everyone has a great night.
