    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse

    PSC Caffeinated Shaving Cream
    Jayaruh #18 Silvertip Badger
    1918 Gillette Army
    Gillette Silver Blue
    Cold Water Rinse
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    PSC Caffeinated After Shave

    The PSC Caffeinated Shaving Cream was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #18 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two Passes and touch ups with the 1918 Gillette Army 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 PSC Caffeinated After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
