Tabac Tuesday!
Cold Water Shave
Pre: Neutrogena Soap Face Wash, Noxzema Cream as Pre Shave
Razor: Birth Year (1966) Unmentionable (Jayaruh PIF)
Blade: Unmentionable (1st Use)
Brush: Jayaruh #403
Soap: Tabac
Post: Osma Alum Block, T.N. Dickinson’s Witch Hazel, Clubman Pinaud After Shave, Nivea Sensitive Balm

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.

Great shave for a Tabac Tuesday or Tabac Wednesday as I call it.

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)

It was completely taken as banter with a friendly tone. 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. Big Grin
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

Pre      -  Pears Transparent Original Cold water Face wash
Brush  -  Vintage 1950's Vulfix Service #3
Soap   -  Wickhams 1912 Classic 24
Razor  -  Parker InjRzr
Blade  -  Parker / Personna Injector? (1)
Post    -  Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm   -  Barts Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine Balm & Lotion
A/S     -  Vintage Ferd. Mülhens Vintage 4711 EDC

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.

One and done today. This is an impressive result for half of what I usually do and an impressive razor blade holder.

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.
