    3 passes and a little touch up for a lovely shave. The GEM Featherweight is definitely one of my favourite Vintage SE Razors. It always delivers a good hassle free shave:)

    Another great shave as I strive to use up this soap. Gandalf seemed pleased with my choice, though Frodo was reluctant to let me use the ring.

    Yaqi model R1605-S.
    Florena Men "Comfort" shaving cream.
    Seygus "Zeppelin" / Stork "Taipan" handle.
    Permasharp Super (5).
    Nivea Men "Deep Comfort" ASL.

    10th shave with the Zeppelin, using the 0.5 mm gap:
    Invariably a comfortable shave with DFS+ result.
    A bigger gap would give an even better result with less effort, I think ....

    Cold Water Wash
    Tabac Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #340
    TNNSER
    GEM Blue Star SE
    CWR
    Tabac AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 badger brush. I did two passes with the TNNSER razor with a GEM Blue Star SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Gem Small Head razor
    Treet blade
    Maison Lambert Silver Tip brush
    VeraSoapCo Peppermint SS
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Colorado Sage cologne

    Some call this razor a Squat Head, I prefer Small Head since it is smaller than the regular Gem head. Regardless, it's a great shaver. BBS in 2 passes and my face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
