I agree about that brush.
Happy shaves to ya!

This Ever-Ready lather catcher has some of the loudest audio feedback I've ever experienced, I LOVE IT. The rest of the gear was fantastic today too. MER Shavings Fougère Bay smells wonderful and lathered easily with the Zenith Boar brush. I finished the shave off with Thayers after shave balm and a splash of Aqua Velva Musk.

I had a great shave yesterday with the Eagle Improved lather catcher. As always the Zenith Boar and vintage Williams performed flawlessly. And a splash of Aqua Velva is always a great way to finish a shave.

Today's razor of choice was the wonderful Gem Jr. Bar. A fragrant lather of A&E's The Novelist was whipped up with a copper handled Zenith Boar brush. A splash of the matching aftershave along with a little Thayers aftershave balm was a perfect finish for a very enjoyable shave.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Sandalwood
Jayaruh #217
1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
English Leather AS
The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #217 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with English Leather AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
