Saturday's Shave of the Day

Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
Gillette Super Speed '47
Gillette Silver Blue SS Blade
Aqua Velva After Shave

The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Super Speed '47 DE Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue SS 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...

; Pleasant shave, I’ve been rotating only 2 razors for the last few weeks, but thought I’d try The Guido today with a Feather blade. Well a very pleasant 2 pass n touch up BBS. I believe (and still do) a .95 plate (and a Ti Guido) * hint, hint, bloody hint* is required but with the Feather blade, mmh!! Finished off with my now go-to balm.
