SoS July 2020.

Ive had some fantastic shaves over the last two weeks, used the uncle Jon's pipe smoke for three shaves followed by bundubeard coffee which is now my favourite soap overall, it performs amazingly with the omega 49, especially when face lathering.

I also have two new (for me)bundubeard soaps arriving in a mail call soon, so I'll definitely write a review on those!

GEMonday, July 27th 2020, Good morning all & evening for some. New blade today and thought to give my G bar a little work out today. Performance was stellar today with the new blade. The G bar is a very nice looking razor with comfortable handle and heavy coating of chrome coating and its great to use with a new blade to break in also. Its a milder Gem razor but with a 3 pass shave it with a few touch ups it can give a person a very close shave as most already know.
Razor: Gem G bar -Mfg 1953-58 it is a milder Gem razor but with a new blade it can be a excellent razor.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (1) My favorite blade of all SE blades- why? very sharp and predictable with smoothness later in its life cycle IMO.
Soap: Proraso red sandal wood, It is one of my favorites of the Proraso line of soaps.
Brush: Razorock Noir 400 black whiskers Plissoft- Excellent brush with backbone, very similar to boar brush.
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 + any pickups.
Post shave: Proraso red sandal wood with witch hazel + a tiny dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers = Excellent shave with my Gem G bar with a new Gem blade.



Have some great shaves!

I lost out on a fine Engels Leader when I first started shaving due to a glitch of some sort. It was always in the back of my mind as one of those ones that got away. I recently found this one and snatched it up. It was a good find
