    Cold Water Wash
    Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #326
    Gold Dollar 7/8
    CWR
    Barbasol Brisk AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #326 synthetic horse brush. I did two passes with the Gold Dollar 7/8 razor and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Barbasol Brisk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    @Jayaruh , I use VDH luxury soap and find it a great value because it has a nice fragrance and makes a great lather.

    CVH MK33 13/16+, soap was MdC fougere lathered with a big Simpsons 59 - pure lather luxury. D. R. Harris Pink finished things up nicely.

    Cheers, Steve

    Pretty sure these are factory scales.
    If not, I appreciate the quality of the artist. :happy088:

    Thanks Randy. I hit them with some Renaissance Wax and it really brought them back to life. Great stuff.
