A very satisfying Christmas Morning Shave using my "back from the grave" Kampfe which i cleaned up after buying it for buttons (I am calling it my #2).
Using the Williams i resurrected my Old Wade scuttle (although the puck is dwarfed in the soap dish top - re think required).
A good loading with the damp JR#355 brush and a face lather, i had a nice covering in no time.
2 passes WTG & XTG with the lather Catcher leaving me with an SAS finish (still learning with angle etc to go ATG), however its Christmas so i completed a buffing pass using My very smooth Karve stainless Steel.
The brush held enough soap for 3 passes plus and the lather held up really well.
Nothing from the block and a nice post shave routine has set me up for a busy day ahead visiting and socialising.
So, its on with the Christmas Jumper and the festivities can start.
Have a great Christmas All
