Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Musgo Real Shave Soap
Jayaruh #222 Synthetic
Ever-Ready Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Duru Cologne

The Musgo Real Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #222 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 Duru Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Indochanté by Ethos Grooming Essentials
Urkunet Assassin - 304SS - 2.5 Blade Gap - Kunwu Handle
Arno "Classic" in titanium with 29mm A2 Knot

From the Ethos Grooming Essentials website:

At the heart of the Indochanté Aroma Blend are some of the rarest natural aromatics in the world. These include the 1934 Vintage Mysore Sandalwood Essential Oil, a nearly century-old treasure from a bygone era. The oil is creamy, warm, and meditative, possessing a woody depth and spiritual resonance that modern sandalwoods simply cannot match. Red Champaca Absolute is exotic and luminous, offering rich floral notes with a champagne-like brightness and subtle green tea nuances. White Champaca is a softly sweet, dry floral with a refined warmth, gentle spice, and a fine grade of mountain tea nuance. Together, these precious natural aromatics create an aroma that is smooth, serene, and profoundly elegant, creating a sense of quiet, stillness, and inner calm. This timeless blend lingers beautifully on the skin, creating an almost ethereal aura.

That is a very unusual razor, Tom. Is that a blade or part of the razor?

It is a blade, and similar geometry and grind to a 1/2 hollow I’d say.

That's something you don't see everyday! Beautiful Rapide! Do you maintain the blade yourself?

Thank you! I do. It came with two blades, so I finished one on a synthetic 20k and the other on a Coticule. Fun blade.
 
This Filly always delivers and always surprises me with the pronounced Velcro ripping noise it creates. Fantastic shave :)

Hot water preparation
MSC Frosted Spearmint Shave Soap
Romera Wenge Chubby Manchurian Badger
Filarmonica EPBD 8/8
Cold water rinse
