Saturday Morning Shindig

Tried a Personna Injector blade this time around and I had it a bit too aggressive.  Good blade but in this non-adjustable Empire it needed to be back a bit more.  I powered through about a pass and some clean up and that's all it took for a very close shave, and also a few weepers and a bit of neck irritation.  What we don't do for Science.  LOL  On a more positive note, I think we have a winner in this blade !!

Consecutive shave 85 with the Bunny V2.2 and 73 with the Personna 74 loaded. I really like the Phoenix Artisan accoutrements Mega Flora. It lathers so easily.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap
Jayaruh #447 Synthetic
1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #447 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and then Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Sunday Morning Salutations

After yesterday's aggressive shave I thought I would come back with a nice mild razor/blade combo.
Wasn't much growth and I was just looking for a nice DFS result which the FeatherWeight gave me.
