Thank goodness you did not confuse it with Triggernometry!

 

Thank you, Joe.

 

Always nice to switch things up.
Good call, Paul...(see what I did there?)

 

Great post, Danny. You are really enjoying your shaves these days.

 

Very nice shave, Clint. I'm glad the bathroom is getting finished up.

What is your thoughts on the way the razor adjust and I have to ask......do you think the razor is worth the price point after getting it in hand and shaving with it? I know when it first came out we were having a hard time with the price. It is an awesome looking razor with some neat engineering throwed in.

Take care.

 

Way to knock two awesome shaves out of the park, Jeff. Gorgeous picture as usual and I hope your day is great.

 

Gorgeous shave, Jim. Take care.

 

Yes, you rhymed call with Paul. . I'm glad you commented on it, as I was thinking of you when I ordered it.

 

Thanks Clint

 

A shave worthy of Joseph! Very nice and I hope your day is going good, Joseph.

 

Very nice shave, Paul. Take care.

 

Thanks Joe. The Dovo shavette is a work horse. Take care.

 

Wednesday 28th July
Razor: GEM MMOC
Blade: GEM PTFE (4)
Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo
Soap: TOBS Peppermint
Aftershave: Proraso Green Splash

Another wonderful MMOC shave. I brought out the TOBS Peppermint for today's shave - forgot how lovely this soap is. The last time I used it, I used a bowl. This time, I just swirled the brush into the soap and then face lathered. I probably used a little more soap than I did when bowl lathering, but the results were far superior - the lather felt slicker and more cushioned.

I received an email from Connaught Shaving this morning, alerting me to the fact that the GEM PTFE blades were back in stock. I promptly ordered 200. I will keep adding to my stash of these so that I don't run out again. There really is nothing that beats the MMOC & GEM PTFE blades (IMO).

 

Thank you Danny.

Even though the razor is designed in Portugal it reminds me of what I think is the best of Italian design. With Italian motorcycles, the look and feel as important as the function. I had an Italian motorcycle, Aprilia, that I would go out in the garage and sit drinking a beer just to admire the bike. This razor is a lot like that. It works very well and looks fantastic. However, the number window is next to useless. I know it is on 4 now. So if I move the dots counterclockwise it will be on 3. Seeing the number just not have been as important as the overall look and feel of the razor Once I get above $250 for a razor, I have a hard time saying any of them are worth the price. However, when I hold it the Musamara it is like holding a piece of working art. I don't get that feel with most of my razors.

 

Thanks, Danny’

 

Great shave, James, with a great kit!

 

Thanks, Jeff. Top tier stuff for me this. I do love me some Arko though!

 

Nice to see you posting again, James! Btw, great shave, lineup and pic!

 

Thanks, Joe!
