Tuesday's Dove Men Face Wash TOBS Grapefruit Jayaruh #1 Silver Tip Schick I1 Personna SS Injector CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Florida Water The TOBS Grapefruit Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #1 Silver Tip brush. Two passes with my Schick I1 razor and a Personna SS Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The scent is quite a bit stronger with all the excellent properties of the soap.
