    Razor : Gem Damaskeene Open Comb- Mfg 1912-15, very rare but still out there, This is the Gem flagship razor that made them into a giant company (A.S.R). All improvements were based off this original 1912 design & there were minor ones.
    Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE blade (9) Great sharp blade with some smoothness with excellent longevity.
    Soap: Taylor of old bond street (TOBS) sandal wood- excellent scent with reasonable lather qualities. [​IMG]
    Brush: Yaqi Rainbow brown whiskers 26mm- very enjoyable brush to use.
    Pre-shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 3.
    Post shave: Proraso red with witch hazel + Nivea Men balm sensitive.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BsS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]great shave with my Gem 1912 Open comb.

    Two days growth, mowed down, with little effort, by a handmade creation from @twhite . With the round cap, it isn't too aggressive, but it is still very efficient. BBS results, and zero sting with the aftershave. The handmade brush by @oscar11 looks great, and feels nice in the hand. The synthetic knot is very very soft, without being floppy. Together, with the ARKO, it was a lathering monster.

    Razor- "?" By Tom(@twhite ). Rounded Cap.
    Blade- Gillette 7 O'Clock, Super Platinum.
    Brush- Handmade by(@oscar11 ). Synthetic knot.
    Soap- ARKO stick.
    Aftershave- Pinaud Lime Sec.
