Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Gillette New Improved Razor (1921)
PolSilver Super Iridium Extra Stainless Blade

Brut After Shave

I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did one quick pass and touch-ups with the Gillette New Improved Razor with a PolSilver Super Iridium Extra Stainless Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.
 
Repeat performance from the W&B having just given it a tune-up on the hones. Very nice :)
