Friday's Cold Water Shave

WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
1947 Gillette Super Speed
ASCO Super Stainless Blade

The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1947 Gillette Super Speed Razor and an ASCO Super Stainless 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...
