Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh #446 Boar/Badger
Frankenskeene
Ever-Ready Radio Steel
CWR
Vintage English Leather AS
The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #446 Boar/Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Frankenskeene Razor and the Ever-Ready Radio Steel blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Vintage English Leather After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Proraso Red Aftershave I was surprised at the quality of shave I got with my Techmatic. It is a very good razor.

Thank you - watched your video on it last week. I have a bunch more heads that came with it so it will keep me going for a while. Another razor that just blew me away was the Wilkinson Sword Bonded from the 70's. Very firm and heavy SE blade encased in a plastic bonding. Shaves like an Injector. Thanks for the shout out.

I got one of those Wilkinson Sword Bonded razors in 1972 I think. I got rid of it when I cut a chunk out of my left temple area with a blade that misaligned in the plastic. It was a new blade and the first stroke of my shave. Ouch. End of story for the Wilkinson Sword Bonded razor.
