Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #188 Synthetic
Leaf Thorn
Gillette Silver Blue Half Blade
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

The Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #188 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Leaf Thorn Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Half Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
