Sunday's Lather Catcher Shave of the Day

Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
Darwin-Stoll 3D Lather Catcher Razor
Gem Personna PTFE SS SE Blade
Aqua Velva After Shave

The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Darwin-Stoll 3D Lather Catcher Razor and a Gem Personna PTFE SS SE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
 
Fine shave, nice heft, and sharp, smooth edge :)

Happy shaving - Karl
 
Hi Friends,

Here my Sunday shave (25.10.2026)

IMG_1325.jpeg
Razor: Mühle Rocca // Blade: Gillette yellow // Soap: Arko // Brush: Yaqi Moka // Aftershave: Marmara Berber Sabunu Kokulu

What a nice shave this was. Smooth, gentle and highly efficient. 2,5 passes ended up in a BBS finish. The Aftershave smells EXACTLY like the soap so this was a big plus. Great shave.

10 out 0f 10

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten
