Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #447
Schick I Hydro-magic
Personna injector
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Musk AS

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #447 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick I Hydro-magic and Personna injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Wednesday Morning Scrape

First shave with the GEM 1912 and WHOAH !!  What a smooth but efficient shave.  My best GEM type shave to date.
The Burma Shave Puck came with a recent acquisition and of course it had no scent but produced a spectacular lather.

GEM 1912 Razor w/ Chain Link Handle
PAL Carbon Blue Blade (1X)
AP ShaveCo 26mm SilkSmoke Knot
Burma Shave Soap Puck
Proraso Red Splash
L T Piver Heliotrope Blanc Lotion

I really like the Aqua Velva lotion but I've been having trouble finding it again in the United States. Are you from the U.S.? If so do you know where to get more of it?
