SE SEptember 2017

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll have to go back and look at my notes but I'm sure I tried SDM and gave it away. I'm 1 out of 5 on Stirling soaps.

Beautiful photo Amigo. How's the new SE1 treating you?

It loads a blade easily, and shaves like a dream. Thanks for asking as I thought I had bought a poor razor.

 

The razor looks fantastic.

Thanks very much Clint.

 

That is one fine SE1 with a bamboo if I ever saw one. I see you've gotten a 2nd great shave. Fabulous!!

 

Thanks very much Gus. It is a great shaver.

 

This gold junior shaves great. I'm bbs smooth and of course the aftershave stung some.

Sunday's SE Shave


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 by Tom 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...

 

Excellent razor and brush combination Jim.

 

SEptember 3, 2017

Pre-shave: warm water
Pacific Rush Barbasol cream
VDH Badger
vintage GEM Junior SE razor
Gem by Personna blade (1st use)
Post Shave: Witch Hazel, Nivea balm and Brut AS

This was the first time I've shaved with this GEM Junior or any GEM Junior for that matter. The wife brought it home for me after a trip out-of-town. Very nice shave.
Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

A Stirling SEptember

Blade: GEM stainless
Razor: GEM Pushbutton
Brush: Semogue 1520 boar
Lather: Stirling Grapefruit with menthol
Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Grapefruit with menthol aftershave
WTG, touch-up

Pushbutton today for a nice shave. I really like this razor. It works a little better for me than the Featherweight. I like the vintage look and heavier feel. Smooth shaver and I usually get great results from it.

Enjoy your day!
