One of those "out of this world" shaves today

Decided to do a nice hot towel pre-shave and a cold towel post shave. Also went for the water only second pass, which went extremely well until I gave myself a nice little 1/2" cut on my chin. Nothing that the cold towel and AV couldn't take care of, though.

Brush: the usual
Razor: What else?
Soap: Harris Arlington used both for the hot-towel treatment and as a shaving medium for the first pass.
Passes: One with lather; one without. No clean up necessary.
Post-shave: Da Velva after a cold towel, then a light dusting of Pinaud shave talc once I fully dried off.

Result: Epicness. Is that a word? Who cares -- it is now.
