A very nice shave today with this wonderful set adopted from a fellow member from across the street.
50 laps on the the leather before the shave for good measure.
I heavily loaded the CH2 on the Williams puck and a nice face lather gave plenty of lather for the shave, dipping the tips as i needed for the subsequent passes.
I normally follow a 2 pass routine with the Rolls Razor, however, today i went for a traditional 3 pass shave. Yes, the blade does not feel as smooth as a "modern" blade although it is easily sharp enough to cope with my stubble. The 3rd pass was really smooth, i also decided to touch up the whirlpools to give me my 1st ever BBS with this set up. A rub with the Alum block gave very minor indication.
A very happy shaver today.
I finished of the Williams Wednesday theme with a rub of Barts Balm and a nice splash of the Williams Aqua Velva Musk,
I really enjoyed that!
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
