The Zenith Boar whips up such a fantastic lather with Williams. And Aqua Velva is such a great compliment to Williams. It's almost like they were made for each other (which they were). The 1887 Kamphe Brothers Star is a very effective razor when the blade is set forward a bit. This is my first adjustable Lather catcher. I spent a bit more time stopping the wedge blade today and was rewarded with a smoother shave. I look forward to improving on this even more as I go forward.

There's a lot of classics going on there...classic shaving soap, "Classic Ice Blue" after shave, classic lather catcher...all rolled up into one classic image. Well done, Greg! (The sound you hear is one of the ball leaving the bat and exiting the stadium!)

My avatar shows Cary Grant as Mr. Blandings shaving with what many believe to be a Type G. After finding how much I enjoyed the Type I Hydro-magic, and being a huge Cary Grant fan, I had to try the Type G. And am I glad I did! Below is a 2-3 minute clip from the movie, and Mr. Blandings gives short ode to the wonders of a single edge steel blade!

What a great clip, Eric! They must have had such fun shooting those scenes! Me thinks Wchnu would approve of Cary Grant's face lathering...no butter cream there!

I'm guessing you don't like my comment on the carbon blade?

Only thing I shim is windows or doors and such.   It ranks right up there with flipping blades and bowl lathering with cold water. More a shot twhite as he has heard all the rants.....
