MMMonday, August 28th, 2023. Micromatic Monday Thread, use any ASR razor that uses a Gem blade any day of the week, all welcomed!

Razor : Ever-Ready 1924(AKA= shovel head), Mfg 1924-1933, nice tame to mid range. It was built before Gem changed its blade design to what we use today with the thinner aluminum spline. I like to use a RIGS shim underneath the newer Gem blade and smooths out the shave nicely. This was a popular razor because of it's years of production which always indicates a successful model.
Had a close comfortable shave this morning with no issues.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (3) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Gillette Pure cream, very nice clean scent with excellent lather qualities. Excellent for making ubber lather(bowl soap remnants.).
Brush : Yaqi"Atlantis" 24mm G4 synthetic, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, some back bone for nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. This knot is very similar to a 3 or 2 band badger IMO + handle is unique and feels excellent in hand.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent close comfortable shave this morning with a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!
