My first shave with the Cosmo Mfg Co Germany travel razor, loaded with a Voshkod. Two passes with Annbas Goats Milk soap was super comfortable. This razor is very light, but its easy to ride the cap and get the right angle for a clean cut. I really like this razor and it will see regular usage. Painted with my vintage, unknown maker boar brush, prb about 18 to 20mm, so that I can apply the lather exactly only where I want it. I shave a very thin mustache. I very much dislike painting my lips and filling my nostrils with lather. I prefer the control a smaller knot gives me. I think I could have done 6 passes with even the small amount of soap loaded onto this small knot, then bowl lathered. Ahhhhhh....Vigoroso!
