Monday's Shave

Treet Razor
GEM S/S PTFE
Wild West Brushworks
LEA Mentholated Shaving Cream
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
LEA Classic Aftershave

Nice, cooling shave shave this morning. The Treet razor may be one of the smoothest GEM style razors that I have, and I love the handle. The guard is a bit different from the usual 1912 style and to me looks more like a Clog Pruf guard. Anyway, it is a great shaver. Two passes and a few touch-ups this morning provided a very comfortable and efficient result with no irritation or mishaps. The LEA cream and aftershave splash worked marvelously and left my face feeling mighty fine.

 

fine Lea shave and pic Andrew..good afternoon..

 

Great shave and nice-looking vintage razor Andrew!

 

Thank you, Gary! Good afternoon.

 

Thank you, Joe! I really should use it more, it gives great shaves.

 

Sounds good, Gary! Check out Crescent City Razors, Slash McCoy’s site. He has a very detailed explanation of the “Method”, a films-based honing approach that he claims is infallible if followed exactly! I had a “Method” honed razor I bought from him that shaved beautifully! Or there are many around, myself included, that would gladly hone it for you either on a natural or synthetic stone progression.

 

Great shave with a cool kit, Andrew!

 

thank you Jeff.i will converse with you before any further actions are taken..i don't want to become a straight fanatic but would like to be able to do basic shaves and razor maintenance in the future.will keep you posted.yourself and other straight wielding crew members will be my go to's..

 

Thank you, Jeff!

 

Congrats Gary!

 

This is a very cool razor! Glad it shaves as well as it looks!

 

I managed to get a 'Method' edge on a couple of my razors. They shaved very well until I blunted them on my strop!

 

Thank you, James. It was a nice surprise when I got it as part of a razor lot purchase.

 

Fantastic shave and photo Andrew.
