Probak

PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm

The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Probak Razor with an Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Aaaaand....we have another Throwback Thursday headed our way. Here's my plan for that special day of this week(course it happens EVERY week).

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(Fresh Wave)in shower
shave-Rocky Mtn. Barber Co. "Shaving Cream In A Puck"(Barbershop*)
brush-MaggardRazors(Marble Handle)
A.S.-Stephan Bay Rum**
*I may be cheating a little here as to the exact history of these fellas, as they may have begun not so long ago as to qualify for a Throwback shave, but as I'm using the Barbershop soap, it makes us think of going to the barbershop as a kid with your dad or grandpappy.
