Injector & SE Party !!!

Good to hear the Razor performs so well. I've really been considering this one. I don't go for new razors very often but this one really caught my eye. I just wish they still had the long Barber Pole knurl handle available.

 

thank you.it's a cool razor..

Great looking photo Mark. What do you think of the SV Opuntia scent?

 

Very nice, clean shot.

 

Thanks amigo! Opuntia is outstanding and pairs well with Fine Platinum and Creed Aventus.

 

Thank Mark. I was trying to recall if it was a take on Aventus.

My fifth Shave with this Razor/Blade combo but using a cream for a change. A trouble free top quality Shave again, with the close all round finish I have come to expect with it.

 

Thursday's Shave

The Pharaoh's Dreamsicle Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #408 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick G4 with a Personna blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pharaoh's Dreamsicle AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

SOTD, Thur, May 21st 2020

Razor: Gem junior 1912 parade with the baton handle-Mfg 1943, I find this 1912 model with this handle one of my favorites to shave with.The handle acts like a stand all in one. Also the corners of the base plate are rounded a little more than other older models IMO.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (6) just a great blade to use-very sharp, great longevity and smooths out after a few shaves.
Soap: Razorock XXX- great freshness scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 24 mm- great brush to lather with, soft tips, good splay with a nice scrub.
Pre-shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3 + clean up.
Post shave: Razorock XXX with witch hazel + a small dollop of Nivea sensitive balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my Gem jr. with the baton handle.



Have some great shaves!

For the second shave with this razor I did as the Gem instructions suggested which is ride the middle of the cap flat to the face. Shave was okay but I was correct to angle it in a little bit and use the front of the cap as the guide not middle. Problem with the Gem way was the blade doesn't always make contact with the skin or hair and doesn't allow for adjustments around curves like along the jaw. Other than that this a very good razor when used in a better manner as yesterday's shave proved to me.
