  Black Watch is such a trickholable scent, and it seems impossible to have a bad shave with the Highland base and the heavy, smooth Frio Wedge.

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

  It is a Wedgeday, but I really prefer hollow-ground razors and I wanted to get a second shave in with this 6/8 Dubl Duck. The shave quality was excellent, but I can tell that this is not “my” edge. Confirmation bias anyone?

  • Brush: Muninn Woodworks w/ C&H V19 Fanchurian
  • Razor: C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming - AG 1889
  • Post Shave: Chicago Grooming - AG 1889 Aftershave Splash

  First go with this Lather Catcher and I love it! I just honed up one of the 3 wedge blades this evening. I could probably stand to dial it in a little more. All in all, fantastic shave though. I just love Lather Catchers.

    @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social and @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social

    “Pinging” you two to address your comments on the mail call. Similar in feel to handling a GEM, but with a much gentler blade. Awesome shaver.

      Yay lather catcher!

      Does it feel like a Rolls Razor?
