Another new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend.

It's been a while since I used the Pearlman Shaver's spirit soap is good shaving soap... It's very slick, protective with a fresh mild masculine fragrance which lingers throughout the shave and beyond creating a wonderful lather in a short space of time leaving a good post shave feel too.

Another close comfortable efficient combined face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
De Vergulde Hand Shave Soap
Jayaruh #449
Gravjura 5/8
CWR
Derby City Chop Shop Winter Reserve After Shave

The De Vergulde Hand Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #449 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gravjura 5/8 straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Derby City Chop Shop Winter Reserve After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Great to hear, my friend.
It's one of the best soaps I've ever tried and Scott's scents are very well done.
It's a bonus for me that he lives 15 minutes away from me.
