Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Pal Injecto-Matic
Vintage PAL Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Brut After Shave

I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did two passes with the Pal Injecto-Matic razor with a Vintage PAL Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Skipped yesterday so today's shave was extra nice! Again, I returned to my vintage Shulton Old Spice suite if shaving products. Fantastic old school scent with an incredibly thick and slick lather built with the Paladin badger brush for three passes with the Rockwell 6S and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel and the matching aftershave lotion, talc & EdC.

BBS bliss!!

Hope you have a great day. :)

SOTD and some misadventures in shaving. I opted for the Adopted Acres today, but needed some cooling agent to combat the heat. Added some menthol, but got distracted. I left the soap, did a few chores, came back and COMPLETELY FORGOT I added menthol. So I added menthol to the already mentholated lather. Not I've got 2 maybe 2 1/2 times the normal amount of menthol in the lather. Worked it into my face; and WOW! When I say it was frigid, I mean it was ARCTIC, Frozen Tundra type cold. Man it lasted a good 45 minutes after the shave with just a blast of chill. Lesson learned. Don't add the menthol until your READY to shave.
