Lather Catcher Sunday!
Cold Water Shave
Pre: Neutrogena Soap Face Wash, Noxzema Cream as PreShave
Razor: Gem Junior Bar Lather Catcher
Blade: Gem SS PFTE (4)
Brush: Vulfix 374 Super Badger
Soap: Tabac
Post: Osma Alum Block, Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel, Skin Bracer, Nivea Sensitive Cooling Balm
First use of my new most eye-catching razor. IMO, the Gem Junior Bar lives up to its reputation as a smooth shaver that is efficient as well. It has a much lighter feel in my hand compared to yesterday's Damaskeene, which in the end was not an issue. A successful two and a half pass shave with bowl-lathered "buttercream" Tabac. I love that smell and such a smooth, creamy lather. I'm really finding the SE blade is much better at mowing through my thick stubble, particularly a trouble spot on the sides of my chin just below the mustache. Thanks to GAW9576 for providing some pre-shave advice on blade loading! Bring on Menthol Micromatic Monday Twelvefret!
