Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
De Vergulde Hand Shave Soap
Jayaruh #217 Silvertip Badger
Schick M-2 Adjustable
Personna Injector Blade
CWR
Cella After Shave Balm

The De Vergulde Hand Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #217 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick M-2 Adjustable Razor and a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Well, today I thought I'd try something different after watching one of Wchnu vids and I used my GEM push button razor.  I used it along with some TOBS Sandlewood shaving cream and finished off with Aquavelva.  Had a pretty good shave after some trepidation, I'm used to using a Schick Injector.  I've gotten to be pretty fast with that razor.  I didn't really want to take off part of my face, so I had to force myself to slow down and pay attention to what I was doing.  All in all, not too bad.  I'll just have to get used to it.  Sorry for no pics, but, eh.
