Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger

Gem Personna PTFE SS SE Blade

The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Micromatic Bullet Tip Razor and a Gem Personna PTFE SS SE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave.

Subtle Art Soap Comoany (Joe Dean) - Vetiver Stone
Merkur 500 Progress With Antique Brass Knob Handle
Brush by Frank Shaving - 26mm Manchurian Silver Tip Badger

From the Subtle Art website:

Vetiver Stone is a grounded, modern fragrance that balances fresh brightness with deep, mineral earthiness. The initial lift of citrus and herbaceous greenery clears the air, giving way to an unmistakable vetiver heart—clean, rooty, and slightly smoky. A Subtle stone-like accord and dry oakmoss lend a cool, textured finish.

Scent notes: Grapefruit, Sage, Violet, Vetiver, Pink Peppercorn, Orris Root, Oakmoss

Our new V4B (Vegan Four Butter) soap base produces the same luxurious, super slick, ultra creamy, “yogurt like” lather you’ve come to expect from our shave soaps. The addition of Shorea butter, and aloe brings a new level of protection and skin conditioning to your shave. Marshmallow Root provides additional slickness and glide and helps to retain moisture.
