A quick, no-fuss two pass shave with a Birth Year (1966) Unmentionable on setting 5 compliments of Jayaruh. Thank you Jim, for you generosity! It has been a long day, so I did a quick 15 swirls or so in the Tabac with Jayaruh #403 and knocked out a rather impressive face lather...impressive for me because I haven't tried it much.

No that was banter with a very friendly tone and about an unknown 3rd party. I knew it wasn't Dave that wrote the part about sparkling. That's apparently what some vampires do in newer movies that I've never seen. (the sparkling that is)

I can't describe scents well and always fall back to the companies descriptions. I will say my Sunshine Man by Amouage is BEAST mode. 2 spritzes. Any more will clear a room .........ALL day. This was more muted.
Facetious,... and you took too long, I already screamed and stomped my feet.

1st use of the Parker InjRzr and for the shave i just left the blade in that came in the razor - Parker? Personna?
Another very easy lather from the Wickham soap, today the Classic 24, the brush holding plenty for the shave from very little loading.
I set the Razor to #4 and started the shave, yes, as others have said it is a mild razor. I completed the WTG & XTG on #4 the pushed to #5 for the AGT pass, the razor has done its job and the DFS+ finish is very comfortable.
I am not disappointed with this one at all, it looks good and feels very similar to a vintage injector in the hand. I am sure i will be able to get better shaves from it once it has been given a few run-outs.
A nice finish with the Barts Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine Balm & Lotion then a splash of Vintage 4711 which has more alcohol and to my nose, is a bit more bitter orange scent than the new version.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Williams Wednesday!
Cold Water Shave
Pre: Neutrogena Soap Face Wash, Noxzema Cream as Pre Shave
Razor: Gem Heavy Flat Top (twhite bonus gift)
Blade: Gem SS PTFE (2nd Use)
Brush: Omega 49 Boar
Soap: Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Post: Osma Alum Block, Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel, Aqua Velva, Nivea Cooling Sensitive Balm
Looks like Twelvefret and I had nearly the same shave today using the same or similar items! (thumbs up emoji here)
A successful three pass shave, the first use of the Gem Heavy Flat Top compliments of Tom (twhite) provided as a bonus gift when I purchased the OC Dammy. Thank you, Tom! To limit irritation, no ATG on the cheeks, but two XTG passes there. I very much liked the feel of the handle and the weight of the razor. Though it has the unmistakable squared off guard as the Featherweight and I could initially feel the similarity on my skin, this razor shaved much differently due to the increase weight. I liked it very much!
I'm getting better with the Williams soap. I'm going to stick with bowl lathering with it for a while. I found it particularly useful in between passes to re-swirl the soap in the bowl to work some of the bubbles out that had formed as the lather broke down while I was shaving.
