Thursday Morning Experimental Gadabout

So, a fairly resounding success.  No huge gaps in my face LOL.  In fact it was an extremely mild two pass shave and some clean up.  I had the blade rolled back on the Empire and it allowed for some Buffing as well.
Next shave I will increase blade aggression and see what happens.  Overall a good shave and a beautiful silver plated razor that is once again useful.

Not the prettiest little FeatherWeight - scraped up and missing it's handle cap.  But paired with a second use GEM it handled like a Maserati on Jet Fuel.

Shotgun start with a quick two pass.  Proraso Blue fit the bill to do a great lather.
