Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
TSD Iced Lemongrass Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #292 HMW Badger
Gem Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Osage Rub

The TSD Iced Lemongrass Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #292 High Mountain White Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Damaskeene Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tuesday Morning Tonsure Test

I was hoping for Proof of Concept - would a modified (taped up) blade work in a 120 year old razor.
What I got was a delightful shave.  It worked well and I learned a few things I can use when I modify another blade.  Gorilla Tape is awesome for a job like this.  Could not ask for a better result for the first time.

Wednesday Morning Shaving Extravaganza

Third use on the Feather Blade and it was a very good shave.  Not the smoothest blade right from the start but it has been better as it ages out.  Still very efficient and that is what counts.
