Comments	This was the third day I used the more aggressive Henson and Wizamet blade. This was another close and smooth. Today’s brush is a synthetic made by @Graydog. The brush made a nice lather with the Haslinger soap. This was the 14th day I used the soap. The shave was perfect. Have a wonderful day, folks.

Sunday Morning Shave Salutations

And a Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers and Wives. My Mother has sadly passed but I celebrate her
every day by residing in the house I grew up in.

So I don't know if this beautiful Dunhill qualifies as a Lather Catcher but it
certainly shares some DNA with it's Wedge Blade cousins.
Loaded a fresh GEM this morning and was rewarded with a beautiful BBS Shave.
