Using a bowl was enjoyable and interesting. I am out of practice but it was nice to see in front of me how the lather developed after adding sprinkles of water. It is going to be fun this week using a bowl.
BTW, still GRUMEing but no shave today

Today for Micromatic Monday I was back to the Ever Ready 24-14 (with RIGS Shim), my second favorite SE razor. My GEM PTFE (11 shaves) is much improved since it has been stropped regularly on the Twinplex. A 9.7 out of 10
Twinplex has a SE version as well next to Allegro? Haven’t seen those yet. Cool!
