Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #424 Synthetic
GEM Frankenskeene (Damaskeene base with wooden "Darwin" handle)
Personna Gem PTSE Single Edge Blade
CWR
Brut After Shave

I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #424. I did one quick pass and touch-ups with the GEM Frankenskeene razor with a Personna Gem PTSE Single Edge Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.

Trio of Proraso green. There's definitely a distinct difference in scents - the pre shave & to a lesser extent the soap are very medicinal like vaporub or olbas oil but the splash is a lot nicer even though I assume they're all menthol & eucalyptus?
Not sure if due to using the Natu a bit less my technique was sloppy (likely), poor lather or if 3rd use Feather was past it's best but the Natu seemed to skip/bounce a fair bit. No blood though (y)

Greetings,

Sunday morning shave.

Everything in my shave set up paired together wonderfully this morning. Another close comfortable face shave from the Gillette King C 3Pc & Gillette Winner Platinum duo.

The lathering performance from the Abysso shaving soap is superb providing a great slick protective wonderfully scented lather in a short space of time.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Goodfellas' Smile Abysso ASL.

My face is feeling smooth and smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
