Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #424 Synthetic
Gillette Old Type Frankenrazor
PolSilver Super Iridium Extra Stainless Blade
CWR
Brut After Shave

I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #424. I did one quick pass and touch-ups with the Gillette Old Type Frankenrazor with a PolSilver Super Iridium Extra Stainless Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.
 
This is a new acquisition although I actually bought it about a year or so ago. I just never got around to sending it off to Glen Mercurio at Gemstar Customs (@gssixgun from the old TSD forum.) But, having recently sent the broken Leader, this fine little CVH and another midi-sized Swedish razor off to him it gets to make its debut. With 3 days of stubble it was a good test. Glen’s honing skills shone through and this blade was super easy to maneuver and super efficient. Wonderful :)
