### Notes
My Rockwell 6s gives such a smooth shave. I used a KAI (3) blade on R2. It removed 2 days of growth the a hot knife through butter.

Subtle Art Soap Co's Mid Cape Barber whipped into a very thick, slick, cushy lather that did it's job at making this shave superb. Not to mention the scent is phenomenal.

**Overall:** ★★★★★ (Epic Shave!)
**Smoothness:** ★★★★★ (BBS Perfection)
**Irritation:** ★☆☆☆☆ (Zero Burn)

Sunday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 7
Bundubeard Cederberg Citrus SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Viktor&Rolf Spice Bomb EdT

This Cederberg Citrus soap has been sitting around here for ages and I haven’t used it in a LONG time so this morning I decided to give it a bash. It’s glycerine/vegan based with a lovely, refreshing scent, it gives excellent lather although it’s not so slick compared to my other Bundubeard soaps, but the postshave feeling is adequately comfortable. The Lubriderm moisturizer is so soothing, and finally the gorgeous Spice Bomb fragrance rounded out the session. Overall I can’t complain - another tip top three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed a lot!

Wishing you all a nice Sunday - be well and stay safe!

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #478
1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Nivea Shave Balm

The Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #478 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1907 Gem Jr 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 Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Nivea Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
 
Back in the day, I used the same Simpson T3 brush daily for 18 months. Replacing it led me down the Brush rabbit hole.
This morning I borrowed my son’s T1. I may trade him one of my brushes for this one!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another great shave this morning. Can't remember the last time I used MWF so I decided to remedy that today. Great scent and lather built with the S. Tinker Brushworks synth for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel & Aqua Velva "Original Sport" aftershave lotion.

BBS bliss!!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Nice shave, Lantsman! I have 10 brushes. 5 PAA, 2 Stirling, 1 Shore Shaves custom, 1 RE badger, and 1 custom CB Brushworks. A few of them I don't use much and I use the badger the least. I prefer the synthetic brushes.

I notice you always have the aluminum head paired with the Ti handle. Is the Ti head more aggressive?

Shavuah Tov, Akhi!

I have twelve brushes at the moment. I'm going to make a conscious effort to drastically reduce my brushes. The Ti heads are identical in terms of aggressiveness. The handle was actually a gift from one of my freinds in the shaving community. He prefers the Ti head with the aluminum handle. I like the feel and heavier weight that comes with Titanium. I sent him a couple of hundred Wizament SI blades for it. We're both happy!

Shavuah Tov Akhi!
