Thursday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Sandalwood
Jayaruh #292 HMW Badger
Gem Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Duru Cologne
The Proraso Sandalwood 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 Humphrey's Witch Hazel followed by Duru Cologne After Shave. The Duru is a product of Turkey, and it was a gift to me from Mike in PA. It is a very nice lemony scent that is fresh and not over powering. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thursday Morning Walkabout
When everything just melds together for a fantastic shave. This Empire has had the GEM PTFE Blade from the beginning and it's really hitting it's stride after four shaves. The Moon Soap provides the perfect amount of cushion & glide.

Made the mistake of trying a vintage SMITH SE blade this morning - rejected after the first pass.
What we don't do for Science. PAL came to the rescue and zipped up a Nice shave in the final two passes.
