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.
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 @[email protected] 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 ]

@[email protected] and @[email protected]
“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?
I haven’t tried the Rolls yet. I’m saving that up for LG 😁
Makes sense.

That would make sense
Better check again 😉
Good call! I did actually check the calendar. I’ve thought it was 5/31 all day.
