Prep: splash of hot water on face
Lather: Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge
Brush: Semogue Italian Barber 2012 LE (custom 50mm loft)
Razor: GEM Junior Bar
Blade: GEM Stainless [41]
Post: Thayers Witch Hazel Toner (lavender)
Since today is the last day of GEMini, I wanted to use a memorable razor ... something cool. Nah! I went with the lowly GEM Junior Bar. A little dorky looking, but super smooth. All the lather catchers I've tried are super-aggressive, but this one is milder than my 1912s. Great shaver with an annoyingly short handle.
After yesterday's great shave with No.88, I went with the other classy Valobra - Oxford & Cambridge and was not disappointed. Finished with more lavender courtesy of Thayers Witch Hazel.
Now what to shave with tomorrow? I was going to use the Schick Type E2, but I used it when I cheated yesterday. Either the Canadian Old Type with the notched head or the Blue Tip. Game time decision.
