  3. Gem Small Head razor
    Treet blade
    Maison Lambert Silver Tip brush
    VeraSoapCo Peppermint SS
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Colorado Sage cologne

    Some call this razor a Squat Head, I prefer Small Head since it is smaller than the regular Gem head. Regardless, it's a great shaver. BBS in 2 passes and my face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

  11. This will be my first GEM style razor I will be able to use. I have some blades that say PFTE on them. I have about 50 Blue Stars and 50 Pace Dorco Primes.

  13. Wed 23rd Jan.
    Omega 11126 boar
    Williams Mug Soap
    Mongoose B3
    Schick Proline [ 8 ]
    Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

    I am working through my AC/ SE Razors having started off with the Lightweights, and getting on to my best performers. Today I used The Mongoose a Razor which works very well for me , as once initial clearance is done I can with a light touch get an ultra close all round finish. In fact for a weekday Shave it is a bit of a Face Stroker. Was it the Williams ?

    Williams Wednesday's Shave

    [​IMG]

    Cold Water Wash
    Williams Mug Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #340
    TNNSER
    GEM Blue Star SE
    CWR
    Pinaud Special Reserve AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 badger brush. I did two passes with the TNNSER razor with a GEM Blue Star SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Special Reserve AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
