Henckels Rapide/ Gem SS yields an easy fairly mild face shave. Could be closer but I did just my now usual two passes. For my head shave the DeHaven Diplomat was loaded with a Feather Pro Super, a match not as satisfying as my recent pairings with the Model 2 and 3. Very close but not particularly comfortable. I think a Kai Mild or Proline better suited. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Gem Bullet Tip Grand ol shave tonight. The Bullet feels just like my MMCP NICE! The Vintage Palmolive and TOST brush paired up and lathered great. The Florida Water was really refreshing going on. Have a safe week my friends. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Mon 5th March RazoRock Syn. 24mm Cyril Salter Solid Soap Alu. General + S/S Handle Feather Pro [ 6 ] Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion I tend to prefer heavier S/S SE Razors, but have to admit that I had a very good Shave with the Alu General with a heavier handle. I think that the Feather Pro worked well with the Razor but felt less forgiving than a Proine, but apart from along the jawline the finish quality was excellent. I do not think I need a S/S model as my armoury is quite full, I would like a modern S/S Gem Razor that worked for me as I have been disappointed with the Sabre L1 and ATT SE-Gem.
Menthol Monday's Shave Proraso Pre Shave Ingram Jayaruh #206 Gem Damaskeene Personna Gem CS CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Pinaud Clubman I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Ingram Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 two-band badger brush. I did two passes with the Gem Damaskeene Razor using a Personna Gem CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tues 6th March RazoRock Syn. 22mm Arran Aromatics Bay Citrus Alu. Hawk + Windrose Handle Feather Pro [ 5 ] Piralon Classic A/S Lotion Another Comparatively lightweight AC/ SE Shave, though the handle improves the handling and performance. Provided initial clearance work is carried out with short strokes ,the Shave is quite smooth with a nice close finish being obtained on the upper Face. Rather Like the Alu. General I do not get such good results around the neck. Had no problems during or Post Shave, and found this little used soap very effective.

I thought maybe a shim would help smooth out the Gem equipped Rapide on my head shave. It was again a decent go on the beard but just not very comfortable on my head. Shake Sharp for the save, one pass + BBS. Stacked Perma-Sharps, first shave on the edge. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Wed 6th March Omega 10005 boar Haslinger Honig Supply SE - V2 No 3 plate. Schick Proline [ 9 ] Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion For me the Supply SE V1 has been rescued by acquiring a V2/ No 3 plate. Previously I could only get a mediocre Shave, now the Razor feels quite aggressive, and today I got without any problems a good close all round finish. Does it Shave any better than some of my Favourite Injectors ? It makes a Change but honestly I get similar quality Shaves from my Vintage Injectors.
