    GEMonday, April 6th 2020 today for my razor usage, On a fairly new blade I like to advantage of my milder Gem razors that will give excellent shaves regardless. My gold push button performed very well today with minimal operator error.

    Razor: Gem push button- MFG 1958-65 -good daily driver!
    Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (2) Excellent blade in every way!
    Soap: Italian barber Amici- Great inexpensive soap with good lather qualities!
    Brush: Yaqi timber wolf whiskers 24mm- great brush to use.
    Pre- shave : shower + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
    Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3.
    Post shave: Amici aftershave with witch hazel + AVON "True Gent" balm- now that is a nice balm!!!
    Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + minimal irritation + 1 weeper on chin area> operator error= [​IMG] great shave today!

    Have some great shaves!

    - Gem OCMM w/ Gem (from Ted Pella)
    -Stirling Black Cherry soap
    -Boar vintage wooden handle brush
    -Avon Bravo a/s
    I really love the strong scent from the Stirling soap, so I paired it with the somewhat "fruity" Bravo. Really enjoyed that fun combo! For some reason I couldnt get this pic/filr to load so I'm going to explore other resizers.

    Avon April shave 11
    Brush: PAA Switchback 400
    Razor: 1946-47 Gillette Aristocrat
    Blade: Gillette Super Thin
    Soap: Pre De Provence no 63
    Aftershave: Avon Spicy
    This was my first time using the PAA Switchback and I'm happy to say it was a success. The knot I glued in stayed in and attached to the handle; even when I shook it out to dry it stayed in place. 5066B6AE-194E-4B69-8CB0-4C2FEC533BDE.jpeg

    I have Leather #5. I've already planned next week's shaves. Maybe if I remember next week, I will break it out.
