Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
GEM Damaskeene OC
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
Aqua Velva After Shave

I decided to continue with the same setup as last week changing only the razor and blade. So I will be using my Open Comb GEM Damaskeene razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade.

The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Damaskeene OC Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
