Williams Wednesday's Shave
[Image: zcws.jpg]

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh #277 Badger
Fuzzy Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS

The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #277 Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Fuzzy Lather Catcher razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Razor: Valet VC1 Gold Tone (1922-28)

A nice gentle on the skin shave today, my face is still a bit raw from the wind burn of the last couple of Days.
As i have finished all of my Wickhams pre shave soaps, i Started with a cold water face wash with the Pears transparent original, just as good if not better than the Wickhams - YMMV
So glad i planned the Williams soap for today, a very gentle Lather. 
The VC1 is such a smooth shaver, really mild but efficient, better than the Oneblade core i had with much more soul and looks to die for.
Only 2 passes required after yesterdays really close shave leaving me smooth and comfy.
A nice Post shave with the Barts Balm really soothing the skin, a little indication from the splash but not too much, again its the wind burn not the shave. I think i prefer the AV Musk to the AV Original.
Stay safe and enjoy your evening All

Yesterday's shave was my first shave with my recently acquired Schick type D. Unfortunately it has a damaged blade stop. Luckily it holds the blade very well. I just have to be careful with that corner. I split the shave pretty equally with the Fuzzy Catcher by @twhite.
I have a few razors that need minor repairs, I really need to learn to do fine detail soldering or Micro TIG welding/brazing.
