Thanks, it was my 1st restore. I appreciate it more now that I've moved to mostly face lathering. This was my only 14 for about a year , I recently added 3 more in better cosmetic condition. One is a travel set in the cream celluloid case that will be a Christmas gift for a friend.

It is Saturday night and the SE party continues for JAMIE. Unmolested Aluminum Colonial General with Proline on 2nd shave, still wickedly sharp and BBS was the result after 3 careful and patient passes. No pick ups needed tonight.... Peace , Jamie

Feather Pro [ 4 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Tabac A/S Lotion

As with the Alu. General I have taken to using a heavier S/S Handle on the Hawk, which works for me. I find the Hawk not as smooth as the General.But as it has more blade feel
it helps me assess the progress of the Shave, and I got a far better finish around the neck
than with the General. In fact I enjoyed todays Shave a lot more as I think the Hawk offers a greater challenge to a Shaver.

Real men face lather. I have a '24 in a case like that. Awesome set. Proceed along the path.

It is ok to be a little jealous of this mornings shave at Fuzzys hutch. The 1910 is a little molested but is happy with it. I am smooth as a crosseyed catfish. The whole set up, other then the razor head and blade, came from friends here at TSD.

 

Sunday's SE Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #240
Gem 1911 Lather Catcher
Original Gem Cutlery SE
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Speick AS

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The De Vergulde Hand Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #240 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem 1911 Lather Catcher Razor with an Original Gem Cutlery SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Speick AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

This is a BIN so should be ok to post. I think it is also a junk razor that could get someone hurt. Looks like a Gem Jr bar with out the bar and a missmatch handle to me. What do you guys think?

Cobble job for sure. I wouldn’t even try shaving with it. I will try most anything.

I even shaved with a blade glued to a stick. Lol but this one...with out the bar nothing holds the blade down.

 

The BIN is $49.99. Well he does say it’s “rare”.

 

Veddy rare. Lol

I recently got this Williams Menthol off the Bay. Today is the first time I am using it. It is not very mentholly but the old formula really does lather so much better than the new one. I was thinking about getting some M-bomb from the TSD Store to bring the menthol back. We'll see.

Today was also the 16th outing with this scrapper blade and today it felt like a scrapper blade. Not as bad as it did in the '24 Shovelhead but still bad. I shaved about six times with it when it started to pull the last time. Then I stropped it before every shave and was able to get another ten more shaves out of the blade. It is no record but I don't think it's bad. So needless to say I disposed of the blade after todays shave.
