Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Schick L-1
Personna Injector Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Old Spice Classic After Shave

I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did two passes with the Schick L-1 razor with a Personna injector blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Old Spice Classic After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.

A really good shave today. I should have included the edp in the pic. A new to me fragrance dupe; Afnan Supremacy collector's edition, which pairs well with the HC&C 007 soap and splash. Both are modern interpretations of modern Creed Aventus.

Brush: Simpson Duke3B
Soap: Kent
Razor: Henson AL13 ++
Henson: 10/14/2021 = 1701
Blade: Treet/Feather (1)

A good friend of mine recently gave me some Treet Carbon blades to try. I find them too mild so after two passes I replaced it with a Feather.

Beautiful shave, Akhi! Maybe you need to use the Treets in a more aggressive razor. Shavuah Tov.
 
Saturday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 14
Stirling Island Man SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Stirling Island Man AS Splash

Wowwwwwww, is this Island Man scent ever gorgeous - it’s an exact copy of Creed’s Virgin Island Water which I received as a gift a long time ago. The soap delivered tons of thick, rich, creamy, super slick lather along with a most comfortable post-shave feeling that the Lubriderm moisturizer enhanced. Finally the Island Man aftershave and my beautiful wife rewarded me with big kisses. Three passes gave me an awesome BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely but this Perma Sharp blade is kaput after two weeks of hard work!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - see you tomorrow!
