Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher Razor
Personna Gem PTSE Blade
CWR
Brut After Shave

I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did one quick pass and touch-ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher Razor with a Personna Gem PTSE Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.
 
Sunday morning:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 2
Bundubeard Impi SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Aqua di Gio Parfum

Only two passes this morning because I had a nasty nick on my moustache area. I still managed to get a good DFS shave.

Have a nice Sunday my friends!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Phenomenal shave this morning. Returned to PAA and their excellent 4711 homage, "11235" shave soap. Nigh identical scent to the frag with a wonderful lather built with the WWBW synth for three passes with the Rockwell 6S and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, Muelhens 4711 aftershave splash & CBL Premium Barber Powder and 4711 EdC.

BBS bliss!!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Sorry for not posting this morning because I had to get an early start - a fabulous three pass BBS shave with the brand new 7 O’Clock blade. Then it was off to the golf course for a fun filled day!

See y’all tomorrow - have a great evening!

A very nice shave. Cella is a very good soap. However, again my wife put the kabash on me using it. She hates the smell of almond other than a jar of real almonds. I ended up giving it away.
