Nice shave, except a bit razor burn on my right neck side, but its my fault (too much pressure)

Friday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Arko Shave Stick
Jayaruh 424 Synthetic
Unmentionable Razor
Unmentionable Blade
CWR
Lilac Vegetal AS
The Arko Shave Stick lathered well with the Jayaruh 424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Unmentionable Razor and an Unmentionable Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

This was a special shave. The Enders Speed Shaver is one of my favorite razors and Dragons Blood is one of my favorite scents. So the combination of the red Deluxe Speed Shaver and the superb Subtle Art Soap Draconis made for a splendid experience. The custom restored Freddie Payne Ever-Ready brush with A P Shave co Gelousy badger knot enhanced the event even more. This was also my first time using the Hendrix Classics Enders adapter. It worked flawlessly. Not shown are my trusty Captains Choice Products copper lather bowl and Geo F Trumper Coral skin food.

Saturday Morning Sample Shave
The sample popped out of the container so I just rubbed it on my wet face and Voila - Lather.
Even with the little Mighty Midget, I got two passes and a bit of clean up.
It's a nice berry scent that's just perfect for early Spring.
