Micromatic Monday's Quick One-Pass Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Purple Power Heavy Duty Creme Hand Cleaner
Gem Flying Wing
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Lilac Vegetal

After a cold water rince, the Purple Power Creme Hand Cleaner went on well without a brush. One quick pass and touch ups with the Gem Flying Wing and Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. Pretty good for one pass.  After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Lilac Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Great shave today. I don't shave every day, never less than 1x per week and pretty much never more than 2x per week. So it takes me awhile to get through a blade @ >20 shaves per blade.

Bond Cream
Simpsons Commodore Badger
Kramperts Finest Frostbite, It cooled me when I wiped it on and again when I went out into the 36 degree temp'.
