Tuesday Enablement Shave
Having received a really cool package of Razors out summer vacationing at the gracious hands that master enabler
@Dave in KY , the Blackland Vector had my attention yesterday.
Today a unique piece came out to play. The Clauss Automatic Safety Razor complete with case in wonderful condition. Having never used a Gem type razor before so I had to acquire some blades at a local drug store and de-spline one. I had been cautioned this shaving piece can be vicious. And Shark week too.
The Clauss appears to have been made for dedicated blades. Initially, I thought the Gem blade might slip around in there but the cap has these little springy tabs that push the blade to the stops. I thought the blade corners hung out to the side more than I liked, so I muted them on an Arkansas Stone.
The shave was uneventful. I liked how low of an angle it gets to and got bolder as I went along. Yesterday’s outing with the Vector was delightful, but I’m not sure this old jalopy didn’t out shave it. And I though I was going to allow Dave to enable me to buy the Vector. I might have to get more of these old razors. Maybe even start my own shave forum. I’ll call it TOWST, that would be The Original Window Scraper Thingydingers
It did really shave well! And I liked it.
Thank you Dave.
