Good solid shave with the Ultima base soap finished with a smear of balm, I think an application of sunscreen is in order for working in the garden.

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Schick Stick Injector Razor
Personna Injector Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Derby Chop Shop After Shave Tonic

The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #425 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick Stick Injector Razor and the Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Derby Chop Shop After Shave Tonic. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I have the same (or incredibly similar) bowl but found the pins holding the handle could rip out bristles and trying to flatten them in more just misshaped the bowl

I picked this one up from a Turkish mini market in Edinburgh. I only really use it to press in soaps from samples and then load from there and face lather, rather than building the lather in the bowl. I do occasionally bowl lather creams so will bear your advice in mind. Thanks

Don't use a bowl!
