Razor.........................????
Blade........................Personna Gem PDG
Soap........................Seaforth Spiced
Brush......................PAA Atomic Rocket
Post........................Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
A/S.........................Seaforth Spiced

Right dandy shave to start the week with. I picked up this razor at a local street fair some time ago. No identifying marks on it so I'm assuming it's a generic Chinese unit but it shaves just fine. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
OC InjecTR by Roger Quintero
Personna Injector Blade
Aqua Velva After Shave

The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the InjecTR OC Razor and a Personna Injector 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...
