June 21, 2017 Damaskeene Open Comb Gem PTFE “Amgios” Simpson CH2 Synthetic Route 66 Bay Lime Twist Folsom & Co Capri
Your open comb is killing me man! It keeps winking and calling my name....I'm innocent I tell yah...She's out of line...
Wed 21st June Supply Single Edge V1 - plate 3 with Schick Proline Type B. [ 1 ] Every Razor has a blade that works well with it, this it for the Single Edge. From an OK razor to a good one.
It really is a gorgeus piece of kit....A serious shaver could settle down with that one and make an honest shaver out of her for the rest of his shaving days...and be very happy...
I agree. It's everything I hoped for in a Gem razor Thanks Herm. I snagged it on another forum BST. I have a Damaskeene SB and just couldn't resist the OC when it was listed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
When I used the 1914 Ever-Ready for the 1st time a few month's back I got the best shave of my life, and it my favorite safety razor. I got a second one from Karl a few weeks back and I figured I was good with my 2nd backup razor, but last week i won this on flee bay..it was poorly described and cost 23 bucks with the shipping. i was surprised at how well preserved the blades are. man there thick, should i use them? ?
Sure give them a try. They will probably not be really smooth though. Being that thick they could be freshened up. I think @twhite can give more information there.
They will be fine if there is no rust. They will need a good stropping. Do not apply to much pressure Stropping. Light pressure is your friend. If by chance you have a Stropping handle. You can give it a go on a finish hone. That will give it a good edge. Let us know how it goes. Tom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Just dropped by to show off my new Eversharp-Schick G4 in silver with blue handle. It was the "gem" in the middle of a lot I just got.
@wchnu , did you say we're piffing a Schick G1 across the street? I thought you did but I can't find the post...
Very nice injector shave today. BBS in 3 passes, but did get a couple of weepers. Going to use the injectors for a little while to get the technique back, it's been too long.
OC DAMMY Round 2 Tonight I opted for a New Carbon Gem blade. I chose not to shim it. Man was I not disappointed. 3 pass BBS. I seldom get what I consider a BBS. As you might know, last shave I used a freshly honed Damaskeene blade. This was an outstanding shave. The new Carbon blade was even better. I am finding this razor to be VERY smooth but deceptively efficient. Right there with a 1924. My next shave I will use my regular Dammy with a Gem Carbon blade. I forgot how wonderful a SE shave is. My very first SE shave was with an Ever Ready 1912. After the very first shave I never used a DE again. Say for a hand full of times. HAIL TO THE MIGHTY SE Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
