I had an excellent shave this morning with my newly acquired Ever-Ready Steamline. I got to borrow one a while ago and have wanted one for quite a while.

A very close but comfortable 2 pass shave with the Unmentionable this morning.
I do not soak this brush as it can get very floppy quickly, so today a quick dip in the hot sink water, a shake and straight into the soap dish to load. It produced plenty of thick, stable Williams lather on the chin for today's 2 Pass shave. As always this Unmentionable commands respect and today was no different, using a very light touch.
Nothing from the Splash even though the shave feels very very close.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap
Jayaruh #432
1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star LC
Star Wedge
CWR
Lilac Vegetal AS

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #432 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher Razor with a Star Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Great shave that,
The Blade will actually get another run out as it was a s smooth as silk today, i am sure it is up to about outing #15 . Granted, most shaves have only been 2 passes shaves.
For me the General is the Best "new" SE out there, it may not look as pretty as the Vector, however, the loading is easier and shave it delivers for me is hard to beat.
This razor and brush Combo is up there in my top 3.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All
