Repeat performance for the Leader today. My Castle Forbes shave cream and after shave balm are reaching the end of life. I may have to start using it more to clear out some space. And I do love that scent. The after shave balm is fantastic 👍🏻

Hot water preparation
Castle Forbes Lavender Shave Cream
Truefitt & Hill Super Badger
FW Engel Leader 13/16
Cold water rinse

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #424 Synthetic
GEM Frankenskeene (Damaskeene base with wooden "Darwin" handle)
Personna Gem PTSE Single Edge Blade

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 GEM Frankenskeene razor with a Personna Gem PTSE Single Edge Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.
