Thursday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Jayaruh #446 Badger/Boar
J.A. Henckels Rapide
J.A. Henckels wedge
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS
The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #446 Badger/Boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels Rapide Razor and a J.A. Henckels wedge blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Saturday Morning Scrape
GEM Junior / Bakelite Handle
PAL Carbon Blue (2)
ARKO Shave Stick
AP ShaveCo G5C Fan Knot Brush
BRUT Splash
4711 Cologne Wasser for the After Shave
Second use on the PAL Blade was a pretty good result. And who can argue with ARKO and a nice big fan knot.
Enough for 3 passes and a Face Wash with one quick application over the face.
