A bit late posting as we flew out of the house this morning and it's been non-stop until now.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Sandalwood
Jayaruh #292 HMW Badger
Ever-Ready Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Duru Cologne

The Proraso Sandalwood Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #292 High Mountain White Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Duru Cologne After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

A Very Happy Christmas to You All

This week I will be shaving with an unmentionable by Tom White, so I decided not to post photos this week. I will be back on Sunday with another lather catcher shave, the last of the year. See you then. In the mean time keep up the good work.

Merry Christmas everyone. 

Yesterday's shave was with a Mark Cross razor my parents picked up at an antique shop. I loaded a Personna Injector blade. The spring held it in place quite well. I really like the weight of this razor and it was easy to find the shave angle. It was a mostly smooth shave but I did end up with a little irritation on problem spots on my neck. Overall a good shave though.
