Thanks.

Subtle Art Soap Co. Draconis whipped up in a Captains Choice Products copper bowl is a wonderful thing. Add to that a splendid razor like this Ever-Ready Streamline then add the finishing touches of some Geo F Trumper sandalwood skin food and a splash of Draconis aftershave splash and you have one spectacular shave.

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 Damaskeene Dalliance

I went to use this razor about a week ago and when I raised the lid, it came off right in my hands.
Threw it back in the drawer and finally got around to fiddling it back together this morning.
Top rattles a bit but she holds the blade firm and still shaves like a dream.  

GEM Damaskeene Razor
GEM SS PTFE Blade (3X)
Murphy & McNeil Old Sport Mash Up
Frank Shaving G7 Brush - Italian Handle
Citrus Musk Splash On
B & M Seville Aftershave
