ER 1912, still loving it. WK Fougere Parfaite for the first pass and DG Yuzu, Rose, Patchouli for the second. Should have done it the other way round - YRP has great lather but a rather sickly linger.

Whats with the change in the lather cup?

It's a bowl that I modified when I first started DE wet shaving, I glued some nickels with gorilla glue and was thinking that would agitate the brush bristle's better (it does). I have 4 other bowls and this one works for me the best it seems. The odd nickel comes loose every once in a while, I press the soap in between the spaces left by their foot print of the bottom bowl surface and seems to help also.

Razor: 1930's GEM Micromatic (thanks to those who responded to my post about wanting a more aggressive single edge than the Genesis).
Blade: GEM (Personna) stainless steel blade
Prep: Hot shower and Castle Forbes pre shave
Soap: Stirling Barbershop
Brush: Semogue OC
Post: Alum bloc followed by Stirling Barbershop AS
First time using the GEM which, as advertised, was a lot more aggressive than the Genesis. One weeper. Very pleased with all aspects of the experience (except the weeper).
