Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Proraso Green
Jayaruh #305
Gem Damaskeene OC
GEM Blue Star CS SE
CWR
Osage Rub

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Proraso Green Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #305 brush. I did two passes with the Gem Damaskeene OC Safety Razor with a GEM Blue Star CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
