It's very nice that you purchased a razor in memory of your father.

Nice looking shave my friend with a great memorial razor. My Dad's razor was a SuperSpeed from around 1950 and I do have one in my collection (not Dad's actual razor though).👍🤠

[@YMMVShaves]

Thanks L, this wasn't his, but it was the same year and model he used and its a joy to use 👍

[@tonygranholm6855]

One more thing, you've are a really lather master, so impressive lather you made mate 👍😍

[@YMMVShaves]

Thanks Tony, we've soft water, well it's good enough to make whisky from and that helps . Making a lather is probably the most enjoyable part of the shave for me 👍

Nice shave Martyn 👌. That razor is almost as old as I am, but it held up better than I have. 🤣🤣🙃😎

[@YMMVShaves]

Thanks Mark 👍 it's 14 years older than me, but in far better condition 😅

Glycerin based soap are so easy to use, but I’ve got to admit I prefer the super duper soaps packed with butters and oils, but I’m certainly not a shaving snob 👀. Those brushes are excellent, the knot is set perfectly although I prefer not to give you any credit if at all possible. 😁 Nice shave 👍🏻

[@YMMVShaves]

Thanks mate and the ego doesn't feel like it's had a rub 😅

Do you find that two first passses leaves you the same as a different first and second pass? For my face a second first pass does not pick up as much. But, even a single pass can be enough for a day at work. Good luck at golf! Be sure to sacrifice a sheep to the golf gods before teeing off.

[@YMMVShaves]

Thanks Steve 👍 The double first pass probably leaves a little more stubble than a With and Across passes, but on an early morning and bleary eyes, having just rolled out of bed, it's easy to do 👍
