Is this your Zenith horse brush? They are interesting to me. How do you like it and how does it compare to other brushes/knots that you use?

A successful two pass shave using an injector blade for the first time. Thank you GAW9576 for the images and tips, they really helped!

Nice pic. Beautiful Flying Wing with Guiding Eye, my birth year razor.

That's right Jim...every time I shave with this Flying Wing and my 1947 (ahem...no notch...ahem, sorry there's something caught in my throat  Big Grin )...I think of you! Don't think you're being sneaky posting you SotD's to your website before you post them here. I've got a tab open to your site and refresh it each morning! Thumbsup

I had an awesome shave with this Gem Featherweight that my kids got me for my birthday. The top cap was slightly pitted which gave me an excuse to sand it down to bare brass. This horse hair brush sheds A LOT. I ended up switching to a synthetic half way through the shave.

That brush would look even better in the raw copper version. I wonder if they make it that way.

Looks like Zenith sells two different types of horse knots, traditional and extra soft.

Yeah. That is really nice looking. I may have to pick one of those up in the future. I have an Olive wood handle simular to that with a boar knot. It's a RazoRock. I really like olive wood.

Williams Wednesday's Shave
[Image: zcws.jpg]

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Jayaruh 287 Synthetic
ENDGEM SPEED 3D
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk AS

Day 24 of 3D Printed Razor Month

The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh 287 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the ENDGEM SPEED 3D Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Razor: MARS with VI insert
Blade: 1/2 Astra SP
Brush: Smilez for Milez 
Soap: Vintage Williams
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue

Another close and comfortable shave with the MARS.  It is definitely a good shaver and provides a wide variety of inserts for varying the blade gap depending on your preference.

   

If there is an interest...I would be willing to do a pass around to let others try it out.
