Saturday Morning Shave Salutations

What an amazing little brush.  Can't be more than a 18mm or less knot but creates a lather that rivals my 26mm's.  Thank You and a shout out to Frank Shaving for throwing it into my recent order.  
What a pleasant surprise.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Col. Conk Amber Shave Stick
Jayaruh #199 Synthetic
Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm

The Col. Conk Amber Shave Stick lathered well with the Jayaruh #199 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher Razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Sunday Morning Shave Soiree

I am thoroughly disappointed in these Ted Pella Injector blades.  They did not perform well in my
Vintage PAL and now did not do well in the HydroMagic.  I got through the shave and you can call it
the high end of a DFS but on a third use I expected better.  Replaced with a Hills Platinum Chrome blade and we'll see if that makes a difference tomorrow.

MicroMatic and MDC Monday

Trying to figure out a way to use up these awful Ted Pella Injector blades.  Tried one in the MMOC.
I swear these blades cannot be PTFE coated.  I've shaved with enough Carbon and SS PTFE blades to feel the difference.  It gave up a serviceable shave.  I'll try the next one in a Bullet Tip.
MDC was amazing as usual.
