Lather Catcher Sunday

Cold Water Rinse
Colgate Shaving Mug Soap 
Tom's Brush B-3 Badger 
1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Florida Water

The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap lathered well with Tom's Brush B-3 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Mine is missing the part of the handle that screws into the razor.   It shaves as well as any razor I own.   Happy 4th, Jim.

Today's shave was very rushed but I made time to get a photo. Even being rushed the Schick F performed exceptionally well. I believe this is one of the Personna 74 blades. This was my first use of the B Pure soap from Dollar Tree. For $1.25 it's not bad stuff, not bad at all. The copper handled Zenith boar is always a pleasure to use. It's patina is developing nicely. A splash of Clubman Pinaud After Shave Lotion was a great finish to the shave. Today's watch is the Casio G-Shock GDF100-bb.

A pause and reflect shave before taking the HAVE to buy it attitude with the recent razor on loan. FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) taken out of the equation by using a $15 razor and getting the same quality of shave if not better. It may not be as flashy and new with the latest hype but it delivers the shave. Just goes to show you that the quality of the shave is not dictated by the fanciest or most expensive razor..........It's a matter of having your technique down and knowing how to shave. Time for some coffee and out the door for work. Have a great day Everyone !!
