    Saturday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    HC&C GunSlinger Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #458 Synthetic
    Gillette 195 E2
    Gillette Silver Blue Blade
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Duru Cologne

    The C&C GunSlinger Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #458 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette 195 E2 razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Duru Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Brush: Vie Long horse hair
    Shaving Soap: Godrej
    Razor: Gillette Senator Open Comb
    Blade: Voskhod
    After Shave: button Down Club

    I tried this brush again, but just can't love it. The soap is really sleek, and I like the fragrance, but nothing to write home about it. Super cheap so it is a good value. The after shave is from a Japanese brand, and you really can't go wrong with any Japanese aftershave. Razor and voskhod blade gave a nice shave with no issues. Super smooth.

    Thanks for the post. I have the brush. I consider it good but not excellent. I have a handful of horse brushes. I think when they use too much tail hair to mane hair, it makes it a little bit too scritchy for me. Some of them are very good imo.

    Hey Stuart, How do you like the T3?
    My new one arrived a few days ago and I used it three straight days. One of the complaints I’ve read is that people find it doesn’t splay. For me it splays just fine. I like it!

    Sunday morning:

    King C Gillette Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Goodfella/Wilkinson day 7
    Noxzema Lather SC
    Prep ASB
    Booster Polar Ice AS Splash
    YSL Pour Homme Ed

    There’s nothing like enjoying a shave with my number one FAVOURITE shaving item - do I ever love this Noxzema cream as well as the Prep balm, the Polar Ice aftershave, and the YSL Pour Homme fragrance gives it such a delightful old school barbershop theme!

    Wishing everyone a happy and blessed Easter!
