Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
Brass TAR Razor (Tom's Adjustable Razor)
Gillette Silver Blue
Aqua Velva After Shave

Once again as I start a new shave week, I will continue using the same brush, soap, and after shave. The big change is the razor. I will be using Tom White 's brass adjustable razor, the TAR, a 168g heavyweight. Check it out here.

The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with Tom's Adjustable Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
 
First ever use of a CBL shave soap. Lather was thick, rich, and slick. However, the scent , Barbershop, was almost nonexistent. That was extremely disappointing. Thankfully a nice splash of Barberwood gave me the scent I was missing.

Proraso pre-shave, Omega EVO, CBL Barbershop soap, Henson AL13 +++, Tatra platinum, Omega alum, HAGs Barberwood & Fceless balm. Smooth and easy 2.5 pass shave.
