Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Mitchel's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #277 Silvertip Badger
Superior Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Vegetal After Shave

The Mitchel's Wool Fat Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #277 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Superior Lather Catcher Razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I didnt really have to shave as I did yesterday and only had 1 day of growth but I wanted to practice making a lather and using my Shavette and its the 1st use of that Yaqi head which I’ve wanted to try since getting it. It had serious blade feel and I did well without a nick because I put zero pressure and let the weight of the razor do all the work. Gotta say, I really like thisrazor, got close to a DFS no irritation verylittle if at all sting from the alum.
