Shave of the Day — 9/26: Cold-water shave with Eversharp Hydro-Magic and WSP Pumpkin Pie soap

# Shave of the Day — 9/26

This entry records a straightforward cold-water shave completed on Saturday, September 26, 2026. The routine used familiar, repeatable tools: a WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie shave soap, Jayaruh #1 badger brush, Schick Eversharp Hydro-Magic Type I injector razor loaded with a Personna injector blade, and Aqua Velva aftershave.

Gear and products used

• WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie shave soap
• Jayaruh #1 badger brush
• Schick Eversharp Hydro-Magic, Type I injector razor
• Personna injector blade
• Aqua Velva aftershave

The soap and brush produced a usable lather without special steps beyond standard loading and whipping. The injector razor and blade combo handled both main passes and touchups.

Routine and technique

The shave began with a cold-water rinse. Lather was built with the Jayaruh #1 badger brush and the WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie soap. The shave proceeded in two passes followed by touchups. The Schick Eversharp Hydro-Magic razor, fitted with a Personna injector blade, was the cutting tool for both passes and the touchups. After finishing, a cold-water rinse was used again before applying Aqua Velva as the aftershave.

Results

The shaver reported a close, comfortable finish: clean, smooth, and refreshed. No negative issues or adjustments were noted in the entry. The combination of the soap and brush produced sufficient lather for a standard two-pass shave, and the injector razor handled precision touchups effectively.

Context and pattern

This shave follows the blogger's frequent pattern of cold-water shaves using the same soap and brush pairing. Other recent entries show the WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie soap and Jayaruh #1 badger brush recurring across multiple days with different razors and blades. The Schick Eversharp Hydro-Magic has been used on several days this month paired with Personna injector blades, suggesting comfort and consistency with that setup.

Practical takeaway

If you prefer short, repeatable wet-shave routines: a cold-water rinse, a reliable soap-brush combination (WSP Formula T plus Jayaruh #1), and an injector razor with a Personna blade can deliver a close, comfortable shave in two passes with touchups. Finishing with a cold-water rinse and an alcohol-based aftershave like Aqua Velva yields a refreshed feel.
