    Cold Water Rinse
    De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #4 High Mtn. Badger
    Lee Mfg. 5/8
    CWR
    Lucky Tiger AS

    The De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #4 High Mtn. Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Lee Mfg. 5/8 straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary Edition After Shave Balm


    There is something about this shave, the soap, balm, brush, and razor, seem to work well together BBS with a 2 pass shave.

    Collaboration with Silvano Camillo’s Damascus steel. I think I am the 2nd, or maybe even 3rd owner, and I have had the pleasure of being its caretaker for a little over 6 years... great experience every time it comes out. :)

    Thank you Gary- was trying to have fun showing the Damascus pattern. First go with the B&M Fougere Angelique, and it was quite nice. Have a great evening. :eatdrink047:
