Thanks Douglas, it's a fine razor.

Thank you Doug. They do look a lot alike. I am sure someone could tell us the differences.

I don't recall seeing that brush before Clint.

Just delivered today. I was weak and couldn't help myself.

No football or adult beverages were involved so I don't even have an excuse.

What was the outside temperature? Have they put up any new signs in your area?

Thanks Doug!

ER did not make a Damaskeene. As for ER and Gem 1912 models...they look and shave the same to me.

Ahhh. The Auto Strop A1. I stropped the vintage blade with my reproduction strop. It seemed to help. A few more shaves should tell for sure. The cheap horse reknot is still shedding but damn it does a good job with the Stirling spice.

Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: SOC Boar

Mitchell's Wool Fat
B-400 by Tom
Superior Lather Catcher
Original Gem Cutlery SE
CWR
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face lathered well with the B-400 Brush by Tom. I did two passes with the Superior Lather Catcher Razor with an Original Gem Cutlery SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Excellent picture Matt.

Good photo with a great looking Old Spice decanter.
