GEMonday today- took out my first NOS Gem 1912, Still shaves great like the day I bought it.

Razor : Gem 1912 model- Mfg in 1921 during the roaring 1920's when electrical appliances were just starting to be MFG for the citizens of world on a large scale which fueled those boom times.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (4) great blade for sharpness, longevity, cost and smooths out during its life cycle IMO.
Soap: Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore- excellent scent and great lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo knot 24mm with the black marble handle- one of my favorites, reasonable back bone with soft tips.
Pre shave: Showered, brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser, A dollop of Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.

A new work week is upon us and may I wish you all a safe, productive and happy one! Today’s razor of choice the iKon Deluxe OC loaded up with a Super-Max Blue Diamond. I am lucky to have the Deluxe OC, X3 slant, El Hefe SE and the Standard along with a bevy of handles. I love the X3 but this Deluxe is one excellent shaver. I enjoy the 80mm bulldog handle most with this one.

Stirling Soaps Tuscany was on my short list for today. Great scent Tuscan Cypress fragrance oil, add in some Calabrian Bergamot and Violet, and sprinkle with an array of spices. Perfect! I haven’t really been mentioning brushes of late well today the job fell to the Simpson 59 which was my first really good brush and fuelled my love for Simpson brushes. It is a big brush but the loft and knot size are perfect. I face and bow lather with it.

Lovely three pass BBS shave to start the week. Topped it off with Guerlain Habit Rouge EDP and we are good to go. Enjoy some sun if you can. Please stay safe and most important, be kind to those you meet everyday because you know not the battles they face.
