Monday's Dove Men Face Wash Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti Shave Soap (first shave) Jayaruh #31 2-band Finest (first shave) Micromatic OC GEM Stainless CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Rose Petal WH Pinaud Clubman AS The Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #31 two-band finest badger brush. It has a light scent and lathers very easily. Two passes with my Micromatic OC Razor and a GEM Stainless 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 Rose Petal WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
