Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
HC&C GunSinger Shave Soap
SlimGem Synthetic
Open Face Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS

The HC&C GunSinger Shave Soap lathered well with SlimGem Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Open Face Damaskeene Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
