Caron Pour un Homme aftershave

The brush is the of the least 'macho' of my Rooney Finests, very soft and with no scritch at all; but it easily built excellent lather with the old soap.

I have been wanting to shave with this razor ever since I bought it months ago, but it is too wide for a standard blade.  I cut an AC blade to size and fashioned an adapter from one of those flexible plastic rulers.  It needs more work, but I decided to give it a try today.  It was a mild shave with lots of feedback.  Perhaps the blade needs to come forward a bit.  I made my third ATG pass with my Parker Injector.
