    LASS Woody Lavender today. 20 seconds to load the oscar11/TGN 2-Band Finest brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Wilkinson Sword Light Brigade Chromium in the Gillette Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Country Club Highlands aftershave.

    I'm curious, did it come with that wooden handle?
    That looks nice.

    Friday's Shave

    Cold Water Wash
    Colgate Shaving Mug Soap
    Jayaruh #292 HMW
    Hoffritz OC Travel Razor
    Gillette Super Blue Blade (1973)
    CWR
    Vintage English Leather

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #292 HMW brush. I did two passes with the Hoffritz OC Travel Razor with a Gillette Super Blue Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Vintage English Leather AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Thank you! No, it came with a metal handle which looked to be the wrong vintage for that razor. @Jayaruh made the wooden handle for me. It's a perfect fit for that razor.
