    SE SOTD, Sat, July 17th, 2021. Still experimenting with my protouch blades in different razors(Gem Micromatics only & Schick injectors) with some success and makes my other razors more of value to myself if looking for alternative results, Nothing wrong with Gem coated blades but the pricy Protouch is smoother in some respects with the guard if not looking for a true BBS shave. The Gem coated blade is the best overall SE if looking for longevity and great shaves for the least expensive shave possible IMO. DE blades are the only ones that can even come close to $.02 to $.04 cent shaves a Gem SS Coated blade will give(10 shaves average) .

    Razor: Gem Micromatic(MMOC), Mfg 1930-41 and was the first mass produced twist to open(TTO) in the USA or the world and is built and designed to last generations with the rack & pinion spring assisted design. This razor saved Gem during the Great Depression I'm thinking.
    Blade: Kai Protouch (4) not designed for the Gem Razors or the Schick injector but will work regardless if cut to length properly & stoned any sharp edges from cutting. Sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity for a AC type blade.
    Soap: Ogallala Bayrum & Sandalwood, nice scent with some mild clove mixed in with great lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm tuxedo knot- excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrubber + great lather painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: Witch hazel + Ogallala Bayrum + sandalwood.
    Results: CCS, DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG] excellent shave with my Gem MMOC with a Kai Protouch modified.

    SATURDAY'S SHAVE

    [​IMG]

    Bath Soap - The Grandpa Soap Company "Pine Tar"
    [​IMG]
    Razor - Plisson-Joris "Odyssey"
    Blade - [​IMG] *Fresh Blade
    Shave Brush - Everyman Jack Synthetic
    Shaving Soap - KaliFlower Organics "Pine Tar"
    Lather Bowl by Freida of the Etsy shop ASfreidaturns
    Aftershave - Thayers Witch Hazel "Unscented" *with added menthol
    Post-Shave Balm - Bijan for men
    Deodorant - Bijan for men
    Fragrance - Bijan for men

    ***EDIT - Back from a vacation. 2 days of growth. Mowed down easily. First time use of this soap and it is a very good, borderline great lather. Slickness is fantastic and the protection is better than an industrial level cream, so yeah, I recommend this soap. Smells like a very woody pine with only slight tar effects and a mild smoky note. A very "outdoorsy" scent. The smokiness of the Grandpa soap has some good strength and goes so well with the shaving soap and the Bijan for men fragrance. I highly recommend this entire set. I was saving this for a late-Fall deployment in 4 months, but I had to try it out now and it's a great setup.
