A hearty Good GEMonday to you all!!! It was a glorious day in the shave den (when isn't it?), and while these two razors couldn't be more different, they tag-teamed like they were meant for each other.
The razors: 1904ish GEM Lather Catcher on a custom/repro wooden handle with a SS PTFE (3), and a 1947ish Eversharp-Schick Fashion Razor (Type H1, "Hussy") with a Chick (of course, 3 shaves). The soap was a limited edition made by another forum member for that particular forum (Lime, Ginger and Bergamot). The brush is a RazoRock 28mm Plissoft Beehive. The aftershave was Krampert's Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum.
First 2 passes went to the elder statesman, and given that the blade was perfectly "seasoned", I had a CCS after those two passes. The "Hussy" was called in to provide a DFS with a final pass -- I had a "happy ending" line all tee'd up, but this is a family thread, and I seriously try to keep my juvenile (and potentially offensive) sense of humor under control....my sincere apologies for any offense caused by this slip.
This was a truly a great shave, and I will post a link to this thread over at the daily double!!!
