    An easy 2 Pass shave, WTG/ATG. Some light clean up and a little lather on my neck to make sure. BBS for sure maybe slightly better. Happy, Happy Camper, it gets to be funner and funner with each day, God Bless to each, and happy shaving.

    1st shave with a safety SE.
    Gem SE
    Mystic Water vetiver & oakmoss
    Jayaruh 94 High Mountain Badger Knot
    Ginger's Garden Dragon's Blood splash on Aftershave paired with a good amount of Tabac Cologne.

    Lathered the soap to a nice yogurty substance and started with the Gem. There was plenty of audio feedback with this baby. Tried to focus on riding the cap, but the feel is completely different from any of my DE razors so I also focused on only using the weight of the shaver for pressure. After a 2 pass AGT / XTG shave I had as close to BBS as I have had with a DE. I had one tiny weeper that stopped before I was done rinsing my face & had some mild feedback from the alum. Overall great shave and a very good experience. I like these old SE razors.

    Bob, have you ever tried to push a modern blade to its limits ?

    Fantastic post! Love all the pics, is the 7o`clock head metal or plastic? It looks interesting and I think I have the perfect handle for it.
