Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
TSD Iced Lemongrass Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #18 Silvertip Badger
Merkur 37c Slant
Gillette Silver Blue Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

The TSD Iced Lemongrass Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #18 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Merkur 37c Slant 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 Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

A clean and comfortable shave.
This BebeLush is a good soap. It has cocoa, shea, and mango butters. It's heavy on clove.
I purchased it off Amazon a number of years ago. I don't remember the price, but I remember it wasn't very expensive.
Have a great day, or evening, everyone.
