Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
Joseph Elliot Wedge 6/8
Drygulch 3 Inch Strop
Aqua Velva After Shave

The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. I stropped the Joseph Elliot Wedge 6/8 on my Drygulch 3 inch strop. One pass and touchups gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
