Cold Water Shave w/ Hot Water Lather

Brush: Vulvix 374 Super Badger
Soap: Proraso Green Cream

Another successful shave, two passes with touch ups. I found the Gem Damaskeene Open Comb to be a very smooth shaver! I am very fortunate to be the proud owner and thank Tom "twhite" for selling it to me! Just a bit of earned irritation, which I'm going to attribute mostly to being the first shave on this blade...that's my story and I'm sticking with it!   Second time using my new hot lather method, which worked well and was enjoyed.
