Tuesday morning: Dove soap as facial wash Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Junjie/Astra Green day 2 Florena SC Aveeno Moisturizer Booster Polar Ice AS Splash Aramis EdT This Florena cream has been sitting underneath the sink in my bathroom for a LONG time - perhaps ten years but it still performs like a champ. Do I ever love the scent, the lather whips up so easily, it turns thick, rich, slick as well as protective, and the chamomile in it leaves my skin feeling so comfortable and relaxed. The Aveeno moisturizer is so soothing, the Polar Ice aftershave is a Canadian barbershop classic, and the Aramis fragrance is so beautiful. Two passes were enough to give me a great BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely! Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A SlimGem shave for a great day. About fourteen years ago, I acquired a birth year Gillette Slim Adjustable and an Ornate Handle Ever-Ready GEM 1912. And with these two machines, not only did I take a peek down this crazy rabbit hole, but I tripped and fell right in, and never looked back. I learned a lot from the wet-shaving community and met a lot of great contributors along the way. My vintage razor collection is nothing to brag about, and it consists of the usual suspects, but oh, what fun it is. And so, for every birthday, I always try to make it a SlimGem kind of shave.
