- Prep: Hot Water
- Brush: C&E BBB

- Razor: '24 Eveready
- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated GEM SE (shave 2)
- A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & Clubman Club Complete ASB

On a weekend trip to a Cast Iron Cookware Collectors Natl Convention that is only 3 hrs from my home.
So from the WAGS (Wagner and Griswold Society) National Convention in Carlisle, Pa, I submit the following
- Prep: Hot Towel
- Brush: Knotty Roddy Silvertip Badger Refurb
- Soap: Tabac Shave Stick
- Razor: '07 GEM Jr Lather Catcher with two piece metal handle
- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated GEM SE (shave 1)
- Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
- A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & Clubman Club Complete ASB
- EDT: TSD Old Spice Type
- Result: BBS as usual. Did get a couple weepers but a quick rub with the Thayers and the Club Complete and away they went. The SE razor was enjoyable as I have become accustomed to.
