Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger

Aqua Velva After Shave

This week everything stays the same except the razor. I am using each of my four birth year razors this month in honor of my birthday, October 15. I am using my Rolls Birth Year Razor (47) and a Rolls Blade this week.

The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Rolls Birth Year Razor  and a 1947 Rolls Blade 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...

The Branch: A Birthday Buy

 I have quit buying shave stuff since  moving to SC. Today was my birthday, and I got some birthday money, so I decided to spend it on a new razor. I have long been enamored by the Leaf Twig. I even had a chance to try one out as a loaner. Since then they have come up with and improved Leaf Branch. The handle is different, and it has increased weight. After reading reviews, I decided to use my birthday money to get a Leaf Branch for my collection.

This razor uses a half-double edge razor blade. Since I am using birth year razors for my October shaves, I will pull out the Branch for November shaves.
