Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #437 Silvertip Badger
Gem Jr. Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Lilac Vegetal

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #437 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Jr. Lather Catcher and the Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Sunday morning:

Capra soap as a facial wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 11
Noxzema Lather SC
Prep ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

As I’ve before many times - if the Noxzema Lather cream was still available I don’t think that I would be here because that’s the only stuff I used for so many years until it was discontinued. I scored a big bunch of them when it made a brief comeback in Italy some years ago but then it disappeared again. I absolutely LOVE its scent, the lather is such a delight, the menthol sensation is heavenly, and it makes my skin feel like it’s born again. The Prep and the Floid Vigoroso aftershave were a perfect finishing combo. Three passes gave me such a dynamite BBS shave that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Wishing you all a great Sunday - be well and stay safe!

Razor: Maggard V3A on MR11 handle
Blade: Jifuli Platinum Edge
Soap: Proraso Green
A/S: Aqua Velva

I had a tuck of these baldes included with a recent Ali purchase, and decided to try them.

Even in a medium-aggressive V3A, the blade appeared to not be particularly sharp. But just a step shy of dull, not tuggy. At least on a morning stubble. Overall, an OK blade that produced BBS with a little extra cleanup, no irritation or cuts.

If it improves on 2nd shave, like some platinum blades do, it can be a good, if not great, blade. If the first shave is as good as it gets... well at least it's good for one shave.

Next time will try it in a more aggressive razor, like New LC.
