Thursday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Archaic Eureka Shave Soap
Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger
King Cobra AC Razor
Feather Professional
Dickinson's Lemongrass Witch Hazel
The Archaic Eureka Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the King Cobra AC Razor and a Feather Professional Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Lemongrass Witch Hazel. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thursday Morning Shave Brouhaha
Fourth shave on the Feather Blade and it was fine. I've read these don't last long or are rough but I haven't found that to be the case so far. Not as smooth as a GEM PTFE but few blades are.
Ever-Ready Pure Badger was a BANGER.

More like a Lather Catcher. Does the design cause more blade chatter? Does it sing like a lather catcher?
I didn't notice any chatter or singing.

Friday Morning Merriment
Quick shave and the Hawk V3A was like a Maserati on Nitro. A little dab of Proraso on a vintage Boar produced enough lather for two passes and a face wash. Overall great result.

Saturday Morning Salutations
Eighth use on the GEM PTFE blade in the Empire and it was very good. After the shave I increased the blade exposure by about a quarter turn (you don't need much on the Empire) to give a bit more blade feel on future uses. I really love the little Made-Rite boar. It is so velvety soft but did need to go back to the puck a few swirls between passes.
