A Wonderful, wonderful shave today. I really enjoy using all my razors, however, without a shadow of doubt the Vector and General give the best results for me. I could not choose between them though as each has its merits.
The JR 355 fitted with a Maggards Synth knot and Stirling soap gave a brilliant, well scented lather.
2 passes resulting in a near BBS finish, therefore, a pick up pass completed to finish the shave BBS and very comfortable.
A quick cold water splash then into the shower for a very cooling wash down, another cold water face rinse, pat down then applied my Bay Rum #1 splash (could not be bothered to make up a batch of witch hazel).
The Barts Balm Lime Lotion and Balm really feeding the face then a splash of Vintage 4711 to finish off.
Sublime!
Stay safe and enjoy your day.

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

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh #395 2-band Badger
3D TNNSER
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Lucky Tiger AS

The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #395 2-band badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 3D TNNSER razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Vintage Wednesday
Pre: Cold water Facial Scrub with Whickams pre shave soap.
Brush: Simpson Duke 2
Soap: D. R. Harris Arlington
Razor: Valet VC1 Gold Tone
Blade: Despined GEM (11)
Post shave: Cool shower, Cold water splash, TC Bay Rum Splash #1
Balm: Floïd Aftershave Balm
Aftershave: Floïd SE Mentolado Vigaroso
[Image: Wk33-6.jpg]

It is a joy to use these ancient razors and the Valet VC1 is no exception.
A very easy mod to the blade and you are off and running. For what looks like an aggressive shaving contraption it gives a surprisingly smooth, comfortable, close shave. For me it is a little more forgiving than a 1912 and easier to use as there is a wider shaving range - if that makes sense (not as angle critical).
A last minute change to the post shave routine swapping the Barts for Floïd and i am glad i did, smelling very Mediterranean.
Stay safe and enjoy the rest of the day All
