    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Tea Tree Body Bar
    Jayaruh #371 Badger
    Gillette Double Ring
    Astra SP
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    The Tea Tree Body Bar and Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #371 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Double Ring and the Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    very cool.when i got it the gold doors were scratched,but no damage anywhere else.i had a mint nickel version of the same razor that had a broken center bar where the rivet goes.very brittle there should you try to straighten one..;).either way it just made sense to make a usable razor from the 2.:):eatdrink047:did you like the shave?

    With the Bolzano blade it felt a bit on the mild side. Not as aggressive as the Flair Tip Rocket, but still a very nice shave.
