Clauss razor, Gem ptfe stainless despined, shave 1 First go round with this razor. As of now this is by far the most aggressive/efficient gem blade style SE I've used. This razor will be a good training razor to learn what little to no pressure really means when using a razor and good razor to train on before I start out on shavettes next. Finish was an almost glass like BBS and closest shaver for Gem style SE razors I own so far.
Yes sir. That is one efficient razor. I like CS in mine. I might have to give a Stainless a go. Glad you like the shave. Tom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
I have carbon steel blades and will try one soon. I should be able to tame this razor after a few shaves. If this was a year or so ago this razor would have been shelved for being too aggressive not now. This razor really does require a skilled hand and doesn't suffer fools or beginners kindly. Thanks for trading it to me. As much as I like injectors this one will get worked into the mix with a few other razors.
I think the Clauss really thought me the meaning of no pressure. It also made me love Blade feel. It is not for the light hearted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Sat 22nd Feb RazoRock Syn. 24mm P & B Spitfire Occams Enoch Schick Proline [ 1 ] P & B Spitfire A/S Splash A change of blade in the Enoch, and this time loaded and locked down securely with ease. I find it much more aggressive than the Hiram used yesterday, but I had no problems completing the Shave and the overall finish was very good. I much prefer this to the King Cobra which I sold in order to purchase this.

Sun 23rd Feb The Grosvenor [ 404-mixed ] Vitos Super Red Occams Enoch Schick Proline [ 2 ] Tuff Green A/S Lotion Still on a learning curve with this Razor/ Blade combination. Was quite a quick Shave, and I did not quite get it quite right along the RH Jawline and neck, also managed to get a weeper for the first time in ages. I think I need to slow down a bit when using this Razor which seems to urge you to go for a quick Shave.
Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Arko Shave Soap Jayaruh #375 J.A. Henckels Rapide J.A. Henckels Wedge CWR Pinaud Clubman The Arko Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #375 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels Rapide Lather Catcher with a J.A. Henckels Wedge blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
I had a nice relaxing shave today. I opted for the mellow Gem PB and a softer brush. I also refrained from over shaving. A very comfortable and plenty close shave all in all.
