By Request: A Wickham Soap and a Badger Brush [#450]

Today’s YMMV Shave features a traditional wet shave centred around the rugged, stainless steel reliability of the Rockwell 6S. This setup balances artisanal scents with high-density hardware for a truly premium experience. The Setup • Razor: Rockwell 6S (Adjustable Stainless Steel) • Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Super Stainless (Green) • Soap: Wickham Soap Co. May Chang • Brush: Rich Man Shaving 24mm w/ Oumo Super High Density (SHD) Manchurian Badger • Post-Shave: Nivea Daily Skin & Stubble Lotion • Fragrance: Zara Sand Desert At Sunset EdP The Performance The Rockwell 6S remains a gold standard for versatility; whether you’re on Plate 2 for a mild daily touch-up or Plate 4 for efficiency, it pairs beautifully with the Gillette 7 O'clock Super Stainless. These blades provide a crisp, clean edge without the aggressive "bite" of a Feather, making for a smooth, predictable glide. The star of the show, however, is the Wickham Soap Co. May Chang. Wickham's 1912 formula is renowned for its slickness and vegetable-based performance. The scent profile—bright, citrusy, and slightly herbal—is whipped into a dense, creamy lather effortlessly by the Oumo SHD Manchurian Badger. This brush is a powerhouse, offering significant backbone and soft tips that massage the skin while lifting the stubble. The Finish To soothe the skin, we go with the reliable Nivea Daily Skin & Stubble Lotion, which provides instant hydration without a greasy residue. To top it all off, a few sprays of Zara’s Sand Desert At Sunset adds a warm, sophisticated dry down of incense, orange, and chocolate—a cozy contrast to the bright citrus of the May Chang.
