I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did one quick pass with the Treet Single Edge Razor with a Personna Gem PTSE Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.

Post-shave; My Concoction; Wahl Traditional Bay Rum 500mls, Witch Hazel 500mls, Moroccan Argan Oil 50mls, Bay Laurel Essential Oil 12.5mls, Vit E 5mls, Natural Plant Glycerine 2.5mls and 1.25mls of Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (Thoroughly mixed together) aftershave/moisturiser splash!! ‘’Superb’’
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Al Haramain, Khulasat Al Oud.
Shave; Great shave overall. Very nice lather from the Arko tub, this soap has many reviews and comments on all Forums both Negative & Positive, but IMHO this is one of the Slickest soaps I use for Kamisori shaving and far exceeds many of the ‘’higher’’ priced Artisan soaps I have or have tried, YMMV.
Finished with My Concoction, then the Al Haramain 20-30mins later, superb.
