Very nice shave this morning, repeating my Tues shave. About the same fine result. I'm beginning to really like my "prep"-done in the shower. The added attraction is a "charcoal" scent. I used to wonder what that would be like on the face and neck, but I just took the plunge, and it helps the shave a lot. Clean, clear Barbasol shave all around. No damage. One pass. Closed gain with the TSD Russian Leather. AS Outstanding As It Gets.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shaving Soap
Turkish #6 “Horse”
Bunny V3 Injector
Personna Injector Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Cella After Shave Balm

The Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shaving Soap was face-lathered well with Turkish #6 “Horse” Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Bunny V3 Injector Razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade with the WILD Comb gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
