  1. Wednesday's Shave

    GEM Damaskeene
    GEM S/S PTFE (1)
    MrEE LE #015
    Vintage Williams Mug Shaving Soap
    T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Spanish Williams Aqua Velva

    It's been quite a while since I had a Williams shave. What better day than today? Spurred on after seeing Dave's post and watching his video this morning, I whipped up an exceptionally thick and slick vintage Williams lather. I also had to brush off the dust from the GEM Damaskeene, as I just feel better using a vintage SE razor for Williams Wednesday shaves. It performed like a champ, as usual. Although it's been a while since I last used this razor, it was like riding a bicycle; keeping the razor almost flat to the face and listening to the buttering toast sound as the stubble was whisked away from my face.

    2 passes this morning provided a very comfortable and efficient result with no irritation or mishaps.

  13. Beautiful razor, Jim!!
    Congratulations on the purchase.
    Now, the pressure is off and you'll also get the satisfaction of providing another prime shaving implement to Jason. Think positive. :)

  14. Thank you, Clint!
    I've mentioned it before, but GEM could have just stopped designing other models after making this one. It provided an exceptional shave.

    Thanks, Clint.
    Thank you, Andrew.
    It's been a little while since we've heard from Jason. I hope all is well with him.

  18. Thanks Paul. Jay Leno is my favorite of the bunch, by far. He seems fairly well grounded, and he drives some cool cars. Thanks especially for not picking Kermit the Frog. :happy102:

  19. Thanks Danny. Thank you for the excellent PIF! The Katana would make a great little travel razor...if only I had a Delrin handle to go along with it. :sad023: :sad024: :happy097: :happy102:

    Shave number two is on deck for later today. Have a great day!
