Growth: 2 day beard (morning shave)
Prep: Warm shower: Stirling Sheep bar soap
Pre: Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
Brush: Rudy Vey 25mm STF
Lather: PAA Supreme Sandalwood Science (CK-6 formula)
Load Bowl: HC&C shave bowl (straight walled)
Lather Bowl: HC&C shave bowl (straight walled)
Razor: Micromatic Open Comb (MMOC) with bumps
Blade: Personna SS PTFE GEM (D6)
First shave with an MMOC having bumps in the base plate. My regular shave MMOC is bumpless but I found I prefer a half-spine shim for most shaves, so I decided to pick up an MMOC with bumps to save a step. I was given an MMOC with bumps a year or two ago from a relative that I am pretty sure bought it new when it was still in production. I was not even into GEM style razors at that point. When I did jump into GEM style razors, I found that the gifted MMOC was missing a blade stop so it was not shave ready. I picked up another one from BST in the last few weeks. So now I have come full cirlce with GEM style razors. The shave was very good. I expect it will even be better with 3+ days growth.
