Today I went with my Frankensteined Gem Micromatic flying wing/Clog-pruf peerless. This razor is a fun one. I made it from rescued parts from several broken razors. The guard bar is worn quite a bit and it seems a bit more aggressive than my regular Clog-pruf peerless.

That is my favorite brush. A 1305. Ms. Luna gave it that custom paint job some time ago.  Did not harm the knot though. Still lathers great!!
Happy shaves to ya!
