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.

guess it is only sold on ITALY,
RazoRock Italian Barber (Canada) was selling it for some time

 

My beard is grey and wiry and it prefers the L2.
Which Gem bladed razors are you familiar with?

 

This will be my first GEM style razor I will be able to use. I have some blades that say PFTE on them. I have about 50 Blue Stars and 50 Pace Dorco Primes.

Williams Mug Soap
Mongoose B3
Schick Proline [ 8 ]
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

I am working through my AC/ SE Razors having started off with the Lightweights, and getting on to my best performers. Today I used The Mongoose a Razor which works very well for me , as once initial clearance is done I can with a light touch get an ultra close all round finish. In fact for a weekday Shave it is a bit of a Face Stroker. Was it the Williams ?

Williams Wednesday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #340
TNNSER
GEM Blue Star SE
CWR
Pinaud Special Reserve AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug 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 Pinaud Special Reserve AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Shave sticks, Pinaud Clubman and GBARS, these are some of my favorite things!

 

Gem Junior w/baton handle razor
Treet blade
Burma Shave Boar brush
Williams SS (modern)
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Pinaud Clubman A/S

Right dandy shave tho I had to bin the blade upon completion. Looked at it and saw rust/corrosion and that's not good. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Williams Wednesday!

Pre: Cold Water Rinse
Razor: B2 AutoStrop
Blade: Modified GEM
Brush: Jayaruh #314
Lather: Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Post: Thayer’s Witch Hazel; Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue

My Chattahoochee River water must be a perfect match for Williams. Easy & quick face lather every time! DFS today with no irritation at all.
