  • 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?

[–] whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I haven't tried the Rolls yet. I'm saving that up for LG 😁

Makes sense.

I should mention that of the two blades, one was honed by me, the other one was NOS. Feel free to hone the blades if you want. I don't remember whether @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social honed them

@whosgotthepudding, I honed the blade that was on the razor after trying it. I intended to hone the other blade, but I'm easily distracted these days. I guess the one I honed was the NOS one. It felt a little rough and didn't look that great under the scope. I put a simple 12K edge on it that took pretty well as I recall. I used that edge in last year's Lather Games. [ And I, literally, just realized that June 1 is tomorrow :-0 ]

I guess the one I honed was the NOS one.

That would make sense

Better check again 😉

Good call! I did actually check the calendar. I've thought it was 5/31 all day.
