Brush pics for RawHoggin challenge

• Brush: Zenith B07-EURO / E aka B10
• Razor: Gem MMOC Gen 2 Ex-Watson
• Blade: Personna PTFE (2)
• Lather: Wholly Kaw - Washington's Blend - Soap
• Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Executive Man - Balm

This razor belonged to my great-grandfather, William Watson. My dad gave it to me a few years back since he knew I used old razors (I typically shave with old Gillettes). I’ve used it before, but don’t routinely keep SE blades, so I haven’t used it in a few years. It is a very easy, not terribly aggressive razor, though. I typically keep the same hardware in rotation from day to day, so shaving with this for 31 days will be pretty par-for-the-course. We’ll see about the blade… The CVS one lasting 17 days has me hopeful.

The brush seemed to eat more lather today. I think I over-watered it. The second pass was more of a slick film than a real lather. Fortunately, the shower is a very forgiving place to shave in terms of moisture.
