Fri 11th oct. Stirling Syn. 26nn Arko Stick - grated Schick Type F Schick-"Chick" [ 5 ] Massimo Dutti A/S Lotion I always find it hard to describe a shave with the Type F, it feels mild yet is efficient and forgiving. The F is such an extremely tactile and very manoeuvrable Razor that it a pleasure to Shave with. Today I had a later Shave than usual, and managed to get the initial lather a bit watery, but that did not prevent me from getting a most smooth and comfortable Shave, with a good close finish.
Pre: Warm water splash Brush: Anbbas Boar Soap: Cyril.R. Salter Tallow Razor: Gem MMOC Blade: Pal Super Carbon Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Puig Quorum ASL A great finish to a wet and windy Friday. Smooth Shaves to one and all.
Very nice looking rare razor and I just watched a bidding war on _bay for one and it went for $170.50 US + shipping. Have some great shaves!
OCtober 11th and today is my Micromatic bumpless open comb base plate, this model was made when Gem did not have the double edge blade yet introduced to compete with Gillette and other razor manufacturing.
