Monday 3rd May GEM Junior 'Baton handle' GEM Stainless Coated #6 I saw a baton style handle on @SlimGem 's new 3D razor. It reminded me of how comfortable this style of handle is in the hand.
Mark Cross with twin BIC blades. I usually use an injector blade with the MC but the shave with the twin BICs is superb, just requires a few easy blade snaps. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
Great shave today with the Gem Micromatic Open Comb and a fifth use Gem SS PTFE blade. Also rocking the Momentum Base Layer today.
Schick N3 injector, Schick blade, shave 3 Decide to give this a go with a chick blade to try out. It performs okay but not great with a standard blade. This razor like the N1 I use semi-regularly both work best with twin injector blades. End result BBS finish not achieved.
Mon 3rd May The Grosvenor - 404 mixed MWF Occama Oren - 3dot Kai Captain Titan Protouch MG [1] GB Grey Flannel A/S lotion As going out officiating for the day I had a bit of a change from my Injector rotation, to see how the Kai guarded blade would go. I could feel it at work straight away, and was quite amazed at the finish quality of the Shave. Some 12 hours after the Shave regrowth was minimal, so perhaps I need to get some more.

Tue 4th May. Muhle Silvertip, A -21mm Hampshire Wool Fat Yaqi Raster V2 Kai CT Mild-Pink [ 1 ] Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion. A very nice first time Shave with this Yaqi AC Razor. To evaluate it properly will do some more back to back shaves.
C.V. Heljestrand, CV Heljestrand wedge blade First a little tidbit I never knew about these razors the ones marked Kindal are actually French designed by Magnus Kindal who bought the company from CV Heljestrand sometime between 1900 and 1907. They still made the razors in Sweden but sold them from their retail store named Kindal. The wedge was professionally honed but even having that done it still like every other time I've used wedge blades never performed as well as a Gem blade in the same razor. It did perform well but nowhere near the blood thirsty monster this razor is with a Gem blade. End result close but no BBS cigar finish. I have more blades and free time to use them so I will be seeing how much it has to do with the edge, strop passes and/or technique to fully get the best shaves from these blades.

Very easy to use and works in the awkward places, around upper lip/nostrils and quite superb around the neck. A few more Shaves like this, and I can see me culling my AC/SE stable.
