Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh #458 Synthetic
Gem Pushbutton Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Old Spice Original Cologne

The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #458 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Pushbutton Razor and the 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 Old Spice Original Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
