Anyone in the States doing something special for the 4th of July shave? I'm working on my only U.S. made razor so I can use it Wednesday

Finally managed to get a shave in...

several days' worth of stubble
Matt custom ivory super silvertip
prep - Trumper's Violet lather (not warm / long enough )
shave - Trumper's Rose cream
6/8 Genco Master Barber (ambitious name, eh)
13/16 RW custom
Dr. Moss Scuttle (large)
Trumper's alum
Lanvin Aprege ASB

Less than optimal prep = even RW pulled (and it was velvet before). The Master Barber needs some sharpness.

Nevertheless - good shave, no cuts / irritation

Cheers
Ivo
