Tabac Tuesday! Tabac Original soap, Omega Pro 98 boar, Suribachi, warm water Blackbird; GB & 70mm handle, Astra SP blade - 3rd use Pinaud S.R. AS/Cologne
Pre: Warm water face wash Brush: Semogue 1470 Boar Soap: Blue's Soap Razor: Gem MMCP Blade: Gem SS Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Tuff Red AS A cracking shave today. I keep forgetting about this soap and evey time I use it, I think, don't leave it so long next time. I could never forget about the Clog Pruf though, pretty efficient and handles like a dream. If modern manufacturers wanted to make a Gem bladed razor to suit most tastes, I don't think they would be far off it if this was their template.

I liked it a lot. How can it be Gillette and Wilkinson Sword at the same time?? Anyone used them before? I think they're really smooth. Enjoy your evening all
In India, where they are produced/marketed for (Some of them are made in China some in India, check the back of your tuck) Gillette owns the Wilkinson sword trademark. They are decent blades, but to me they are not nearly as good as the German Wilkinson Sword Classic blades.
