Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Amalfi Basil Lemon Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #144
Hoffritz Travel Razor
Astra SP
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Old Spice Classic After Shave

The Amalfi Basil Lemon Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #144 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Hoffritz Travel Razor and the Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Old Spice Classic After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
