    Superb beard and head shave with the 1914 / GEM PTFE, KMF. The razor cries out for an adapter for a longer handle though.[​IMG]

    A Franken Shave Day!

    EJ DE87 head/Scotch & Stowe handle
    Astra SP blade
    FS/WD boar brush
    Stirling Margarita's in the Artic SS
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    M&L Florida Water cologne w/added menthol

    What a nice shaving combo that razor is. Smooth, effective, easy to hold/use and I like it. The FS/WD boar brush is very very soft and made a nice lather. All the parts worked well and I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Jeeves of Hudson Street Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #204 Horse
    Gillette Knack
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Lucky Tiger

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #204 Horse Hair brush. I did the two passes with the Gillette Knack with a Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
