Thanks Douglas. The Gillette Pure actually has a nice menthol tingle to it and actually performs as well as Proraso. Even with all of the Artisan A/S out there, Aqua Velva is still on my "Desert Island" list; so I always enjoy it as a Classic.
For Saturday-a repeat of today, HOWEVER a change of brushes. Hopefully a better brush can succeed more at loading the Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo(Stoylin). Brush-Jayaruh #59.

SATURDAY'S SHAVE Perfumed by: Jean-Louis Sieuzac & Michel Almairac Razor - West Coast Shaving Midnight Collection 84B Blade - Treet Carbon Steel *2nd Shave Razor/Brush Stand by Royal Shave Lather Bowl by Royal Shave Shave Brush - RichMan Shaving "Lava Flow Red" Preshave Soap - PAA Cube with Dock Shaving Soap - The Shaving Shop "The Deal Maker" *Discontinued Aftershave - Dior Fahrenheit Deodorant - Dior Fahrenheit Fragrance - Dior Fahrenheit ***EDIT - Fantastic 2-pass + clean up shave. I used the PAA Chill Mill to add some 'cool' to this shave. Worked out great. The WCS Midnight razor shaves every bit as good as my Edwin Jagger Kelvin. And luckily the black-themed Treet blade works great with it. I love this set. It will be rotated year-round.
Thank you very much gentlemen - greatly appreciate it! And yes I concur - MW's Jeff's Lavender is a wonderfully clean scent
