Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Jayaruh #446 Badger/Boar
1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star LC
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #446 Badger/Boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Shave 60 with the Bunny V2.2 and 48 with the Personna 74 loaded. During the two previous shaves I felt like the blade was starting to slow down. However this shave was smooth and easy. Maybe something else was off but it wasn't the razor or the blade.

Monday Morning Scrape

First time with a MicroMatic - oh what a difference from the GEM Jr.  Smooth but a bit less efficient.  Looking forward to honing my technique on this one.

GEM MicroMatic Bullet Tip
GEM Personna SS (2)
PAA Solar Flare Brush
Saponoficio Varesino 70th Anniversary Puck
Myrsol Agua di Limon Splash
RazoRock Tuscan Oud Aftershave

Shave of the Week Starting 9/25/2023

Pal Adjustable injector razor
Personna blade
PAA Amber Areolite brush
Lea Menthol SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

Been a long time since I used the Pal and it showed. My technique was a bit off but a fine shave was eventually had. My fault not the razor. All the other parts liked each other though and that's good. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
