    Thursday's Shave
    [​IMG]

    Cold Water Rinse
    Musgo Real Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #423 2-band Badger
    47 Gillette Super Speed
    Astra SP
    CWR
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

    The Musgo Real Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #423 2-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 47 Gillette Super Speed Razor with an Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Busted my number 88 out of its case, to put it in the 77 case it came with :)
    I think it shaves the same as an 88 as it does a 77. Lol
