Sunday's Shave of the Day

Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher
Gem Personna PTFE SS SE 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 1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher Razor and a Gem Personna PTFE SS SE 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...

I normally don’t shave with the same razor twice in a row. But I wanted to check the edge after the tune-up I did after the last shave. All as it should be :)

The only change I’m going to make in the next 4 days is the soap and AS.

Haven't used it yet.. due for Saturday shave.. I believe there was an error during the making of a certain batch that included a double helping of the butters, or something along those lines... I'll load it heavily and see how we go..

Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
Gillette Aristocrat Birth Year Razor (47)
Gillette Silver Blue Blade
Aqua Velva After Shave

This week everything stays the same except the razor. I am using each of my four birth year razors this month in honor of my birthday, October 15. Today, I am using my Gillette Aristocrat Birth Year Razor (47) and a Gillette Silver Blue SS Blade.

The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Aristocrat Birth Year 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...
