Single edge razor of the day.

Warm water shave with:

Brass Ever Ready (made in USA).
Gem Coated, #1 Shave.
Arko Soap Stick (straight to face, no brush).
Barts Ben Cruachan (Lime) Balm.

My first shave with this razor.
Very, very smooth shaver.
Elevated to my no.1 razor spot, I think!
Noticeably heavier than my chrome one
with the aluminium handle.

I did bleed: my fault because I didn't
lift / stretch my konk up far enough
when shaving under it....
The very last bit I shave....

GEM by Personna (5)
Imperial Leather (Vintage) Aftershave

My last scrape of 2021 and with the GEM blade right at my personal sweet-spot of 5 shaves in, what better than a pure and simple, functional lather catcher: the 1907.

With a thick shim under the blade, a spine taken from a vintage blade and maybe double the thickness of a modern spine, it was a wonderful shave! I took my time and really enjoyed two passes, one with and one against the grain; each pass taken in one without rinsing the razor and making full use of that spacious curve which gives it it's name: the lather catcher.

All the best for the coming year, fellows.
