    Cold Water Wash
    Mitchell's Wool Fat
    B-400 by Tom
    Superior Lather Catcher
    Original Gem Cutlery SE
    CWR
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face lathered well with the B-400 Brush by Tom. I did two passes with the Superior Lather Catcher Razor with an Original Gem Cutlery SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Yep, I'll be doing a lot of posting to this thread this month.
    At least I will only have to take one picture and post it in 2 forums.
    I can't wait to see what y'all are using.

    ATT SE-G, modified base plate
    Gem S/S [ 5 ]
    Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion

    Am still enjoying the use of an SE-G thanks to the loan of a modified base plate created by a Shaving Buddy, who found his Razor not to work very well. Until I got this, my Razor had been stuck in a drawer for 8months.
    I have now had 10 Shaves with the modified Razor, and today with a blade on its 5th outing
    the Shave was not only smooth and comfortable but the finish was ultra close all round. Have to send the base plate back:(, but Paul is going to see what he can do wth mine:).

    Good looking brush Amigo. What knot is in that SOC?
    I'm going to shave with older SE razors on the weekend and use my newer SE razors during the week. I have a few new soaps coming and only a few Sterling soaps, so I'll substitute those soaps for Sterling soaps.

    Thank you Doug. The SOC has a mixed boar and badger knot. I have found it to have excellent backbone with the tips soft enough for face lathering. I am interested to see what it feels like with the boar bristles broken in.

    I will use my vintage SE razors on the weekends and modern SE razors during the week. Oh I have a Blackland Sabre Lvl 2 on the way.

    I ran out of modern injector blades. But some of the vintage ones still look good. Is that what you mean?

    :thanks: Clint. I think you'll like the Sabre L2. I found the L1 to be very mild. It will be interesting to see how it suits you.
    Where you watching football and having a pop at the time of purchase ? :happy102:
