Today’s Shave Razor: Gillette Bottom Dial (freshly caught in the wild.) Blade: Rapira Platinum Plus Soap: Palmolive Brush: Razorock 400 First shave with a white whale. Pretty much the same shave as any other razor, once you figure out the balance This is a strange one. As you would think it is bottom heavy. It isn’t, nor is it really head heavy. The weight is more centralized. I found that there is a small window for my grip to get the feel I like. I found it half way through the first pass of three. I started at 5 and after 2 cheek strokes. I dialed it up to 7. I stayed there for the remaining 2-1/2 passes. I did dial it down to 3 for some touchup using only water. I will be using this razor for the next week. All in all a DFS. COOL factor off the charts. This razor will be a keeper and will be used. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Razor: Gem 1912 Travel Blade: Vintage Gem blade (1) Cream/Soap: Art Of Shaving Creme a Raser Brush: The Tempest Satin Tip Aftershave: Witch Hazel, followed by Aqua Velva Musk followed by Pacific Shaving Caffinated Aftershave Lotion. Yeah. The Art Of Shaving cream left me with my face and neck looking like I had 5 degree burns (if that's even a thing). It's a shame because I wanted my first shave with my Gem to be great. I learned my lesson, don't try a shaving cream you know doesn't work for you and a new razor and blades at the same time. But this Pacific Shaving lotion feels amazing on the face, don't even get me started with that Aqua Velva..... OUCH. Definetely gonna be a 50s shave for me tomorrow. Everybody's Favourite Uncle
