    9/9/17 GEM CLOG PRUF - new PAL blade - just amazing - a tad smoother than the open comb. Not sure what makes it clog pruf???? But - a nice variation of the OPMM - if I was too choose one I would take the open comb

    Sunday 10th Sept.

    ER Streamline & Gem S/S [2 ]
    The New Gems will have to be good to beat the Shave with a Streamline, smoother maybe but closer I doubt.

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Palmolive Classic Shaving Cream
    B 400 by Tom
    Gem 1911 Lather Catcher
    Original Gem Cutlery SE
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Barbasol AS

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Palmolive Classic Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the B 400 badger brush. I did the two passes with the Gem 1911 Lather Catcher and vintage Gem Jr. blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Three days of stubble taken care of with no drama from this beautiful brass 1924. I moved to higher ground but, ahem, brought my razors when I evacuated. Tomorrow is another day but today is starting with a super smooth and close shave courtesy of the mighty 1924. :happy036:

    Happy shaving - Karl

    Todays post is from yesterday and today both. Every time I sat down yesterday to post my SOTD the Wife would say "What about....?" or "I thought we were.....?". The only thing I could say was "Yes Dear." This is then my SOTD for the 9th & 10th of September.

    First: SOTD for
    9 SEptember
    Shave #7 on the Treet

    Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
    Brush: 28mm Faux Finest Badger, Frank Shaving(FS)
    Soap: Pipe Smoke, Uncle Jon's
    Lather Bowl: Sundae Dish, The Pioneer Woman, Walmart
    Razors:
    1. Superior 1900 LC
    2. GEM Brooklyn 1912
    Blade: Treet (7)
    Post-Shave: Cold Water rinse and Stetson AS

    SOTD 9 Sep 2017.jpg


    I got a large amount of decent lather out of the new Pipe Smoke soap. I switched back to the Superior 1900 as I didn't have very much whisker growth and was concerned with the aggression level of the GEM. I believe the GEM to be more aggressive then the 1900 LC. After the first pass I found that the aggression level of a razor is relative to the technique used with that razor. I had the wrong angle with the LC is putting nicely. So I pulled the blade out of the LC and put it back in the Brooklyn 1912. Did two more passes with it. Finished of the shave with a cold water rinse than some Stetson AS. Trying to win favor with the Wife(didn't work). This did leave me with another smooth shave. Just to think I got this razor back at the beginning of June. I used it once or twice and put it up. It had teeth and we didn't see eye to eye. Now I am getting shaves that would make a dolphin jealous.

    Second: SOTD for
    10 SEptember
    Shave #8 on the Treet

    Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
    Brush: 25mm Maseto Shaving(MS) Synthetic
    Soap: Pipe Smoke, Uncle Jon's
    Lather Bowl: Sundae Dish, The Pioneer Woman, Walmart
    Razor: GEM Brooklyn 1912
    Blade: Treet (8)
    Post-Shave: Cold Water rinse and Rose Petal, Thayers Witch Hazel

    SOTD 10 Sep 2017.jpg


    Today's shave I wanted to use a different brush with the Uncle Jon's. Yesterdays lather I thought, didn't have very much slickness to it, but I chocked that up to the brush being on the dry side. I started this shave by soaking the brush in the lather bowl verses the smaller cup I normally soak it in. This means I had left over water in the lather dish. Today's lather was a bit wetter and a little slicker. I did a three pass shave that left me smooth and a little bit of irritation under my Adams apple but a DFS all in all. I would chock this one up as a win. I guess that makes me "WINNING".
