Here is another Missed Micromatic Monday Make up shave. Hopefully this doesn't become a trend.

Gem Jr Parade
Cella
Maggard's synthetic
Pinaud Clubman Lilac Vegital

Great shave with very little irritation even though it was a bit rushed.

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
3D Printed Brush
Purple Wabbit
Personna injector
CWR
Pinaud Clubman Vegetal

This was shave #2 with the Purple Wabbit. The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Purple Wabbit razor with a Personna injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Wednesday's Shave

Ever Ready 1912
GEM S/S PTFE (2)
Semogue 820 Boar
Vintage Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Aftershave

Today was the first shave using my newly acquired vintage puck of Williams. I soaked it 24 hours in the bottom of a mug (pictured) that has almost the same diameter as the puck (water just barely covering the top of the soap). This was my way of re-hydrating and reviving the soap. I dumped and refreshed the water three separate times and the puck was ready for use this morning. What a complete difference from the modern pucks. WOW! I will state for the record - I am able to achieve decent results from the modern pucks. The lather I achieved today though was in no way comparable to the modern Williams. It was a thick, yogurt like, creamy lather. There was also NO dissipation. As for the shave performance, I have to admit there was not as much of a night and day difference. Still very slick, but it's a bit more protective than the modern version and the post shave feel is better too. For $5, I consider it a good purchase.

Three passes today with the Ever Ready 1912 provided a BBS result with no irritation or mishaps. Surprisingly, I did have enough lather in my brush for two more passes.
