Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Nivea Shave Cream
Jayaruh #199 Synthetic
GEM Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Nivea After Shave Balm

The Nivea Shave Cream face-lathered well with Jayaruh #199 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Damaskeene razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Nivea After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
