Boker Master Razor straight razor Blade: Kai Captain Mild (4) Brush: Vie Long Horse Hair Soap: Stirling - Frozen Tundra After: Home made ASB, Osage Rub after shave Cologne: Gravity It was a really cold Menthol Monday shave this morning. The Frozen Tundra was faced lathered well with the Vie Long brush. My chin felt like it was buried in snow. The Cobra and the Boker did their jobs with distinction. The Osage Rub made my chin go numb from the cold and the Gravity will have me smelling good for the rest of the day. All things considered, a Darn Fine Shave + was the result. Have a blessed day!
