Williams Wednesday's Shave
[Image: cws.png]

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh #340 Badger
Triceratops
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Citrus Musk EdC

The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Triceratops with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk EdC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Williams Wednesday with the Henckels Rapide.
Today i used a spine of a de-spined GEM to Shim the back of the blade to try to emulate the original wedge, it seemed to work pretty well , i may try 2 shims next time.
Only 2 passes today for a DFS result, the Rapide is not a razor you go chasing a BBS finish with a buffing pass, saying that it leaves me smiling ear to ear. The Williams soap face lathered well although i did load the RR400 synth for a bit extra time and I had plenty for the shave in the brush
A nice post shave finishing with the Aqua Velva.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Update,
My 3 pucks of Hampshire Wool Fat arrived today along with the Vintage Pewter dish, the pucks fit exactly into the Patum Peperium dish i bought for it. The Pewter dish is Oval but will still work for soap.

I believe he isn't going to make this one anymore. Luckily he makes plenty of other wonderful soaps.

Great pics. Love the look of that razor.

Thank you. The Gem Junior Bar is definitely one of my favorite razors. And I actually really like the look of the brassing on this one. I made this handle a little bigger than the original wooden handle and it's very comfortable to use.
By the way were specifically do you get stuff 3D printed. Someone gave me a recommendation a little while ago but it was a site with hundreds of different places to choose from.
