Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap.
Jayaruh #119 Synthetic
Gillette NEW Short Comb
Gillette Silver Blue
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Musk

The Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #119 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette NEW Short Comb Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva Musk After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

That’s a fine Gillette @Jayaruh it’s been a little bit hot here of late. The water out of my cold tap isn’t what i’d call cold. You know what I mean it doesn’t have that refreshing Edge maybe you should drop some ice in there.😁
Cheers.
