    Cold Water Rinse
    TSD Cool Lime Shave Stick
    Tom's 3D Printed Brush
    AutoStrop A1
    Gem Blue Star
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    The TSD Cool Lime Shave Stick face-lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A1 with a Gem Blue Star SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Wonderful shave today, from a razor made by Tom(@twhite ) and a brush made be (@jtspartan ). This All aluminum razor is very well made, and light. It is a smooth shaver, with medium aggression, with the rounded cap. The brush is also well made, with an Omega knot. It is on the smaller side of knots, but it seems to be easier to worth with, than larger ones. It left me with a BBS shave. Great job guys.

    Razor- "?" By Tom(@twhite ). Rounded Cap.
    Blade- Gillette 7 O'Clock, Super Platinum.
    Brush- Handmade by(@jtspartan ). Omega knot.
    Soap- ARKO stick.
    Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy.

    MicroMaticMonday or GEMonday today, April 27th 2020- Well I thought I would do some experimenting today with the Gem Featherweight Gen#1 head VS Gen #2 head and I have both heads other than the handles and that is basically the difference.(It's not a perfect shaving world in my Den) All I did was WTG 1st pass followed by ATG 2nd pass on the left side with Generation #1 the original Featherweight in all it's glory(toughest beard side under the jaw line for me also)with no touch ups to see how best to accurately gauge the shave. And on the right side I went with Generation #2 head(Gem G-Bar) with same procedure. WTG 1st pass and 2nd pass ATG to see if there is a difference. If you go to a 3 pass shave it is hard to mark a lot of differences because all I'm using is feel of my hand. And the winner for the closest 2 pass shave goes to Generation #1 head for the best performance with a new Gem Personna SS PTFE (1) that was placed in the Gen #2 head after first side completed. Cheeks were very similar in closeness on both sides but under the jaw lines Gen #1 (Featherweight Gen#1 was noticeably better for closeness).
    Looks like a different MMMonday today with a 2 razor shave which is a rarity for myself but also had a little fun also. [​IMG] [​IMG][​IMG]

    Razor: Gem Featherweight Gen #1 -MFG 1950-53
    Razor : Gem G-Bar with Gen #2 head that was also on the Featherweight later models from 1953-55/G-bar MFG 1955-58.
    Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (1) great all around blade.
    Soap: Razorock "The Dead Sea" great scent with good lather qualities IMO.
    Brush: Razorock Plissoft 24mm- great bush that I have used a lot over the last 3 1/2 yrs.
    Preshave: Showered- washed the face with regular hand bar soap.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2.
    Post shave: Razorock "The Dead Sea" aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea Men balm.
    Result :Gem Featherweight Gen#1 head)CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 tiny weeper= [​IMG] good shave for a 2 pass shave.
    Results:Gem G-Bar with Gen #2 head) CCS,DFS,BBS + minor irritation + 2 tiny weepers = [​IMG] reasonable shave for only a 2 pass- I need a 3 pass with a G-bar for it to shine IMO.

    Yesterday’s shave was superb. The Lund has always been in competition for the best razor in the den. Yesterday’s shave put it over the top. I kept thinking, “Why do I even have any other razors?” :happy036:

    Hot water preparation
    AOS Lavender PSO
    T&H Wellington Super Badger
    Castle Forbes Lavender Shave Cream
    Lund 6/8
    Castle Forbes Lavender After Shave Balm

    Happy shaving - Karl
