Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Nivea Shave Cream
Jayaruh #199 Synthetic
Ever-Ready Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Nivea After Shave Balm

The Nivea Shave Cream face-lathered well with Jayaruh #199 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Nivea After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Shave of the Week Starting 4/20/2026

Supply SE Max
Supply Black Label Blade
Supply Synthetic Brush
Supply Bergmot & Juniper SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Assorted A/S

All went well except I don't care for the Supply brush. For me it's a little dense and scritchy so I think I'll change it out to something else
