Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Shannon's Soaps Indigo Oud 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 Shannon's Soaps Indigo Oud 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...
