    GEMonday, August 12th 2024

    Razor : Gem Jr 1912 variant paton style handle. Mfg 1938 variant, mild to tame mid range. Excellent stamped razor made of brass with a light tapered plastic handle that acts like a stand(Not sure why other manufactures don't offer similar handles). This little razor just performs and once mastered is a shavers treasure when it comes to results and no irritation IMO. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTEF (7) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : Cyril R Salter(CRS) Wild Rose, nice scented rose scent 6/10 strength with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi" Atlantis" 24mm synthetic(G4?). Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Nice handle + great badger closeness to a 2band badger.
    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 : Italian barber Amici with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : [​IMG] or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Gem Jr 1912 with a coated Gem blade. (Very enjoyable close shave this morning)
