    MMMonday, October 9th 2023.

    Razor : Gem MicroMatic OC- Mfg 1930- 41, well built to last generations with a little care + was the first mass produced Twist to open(TTO) in the razor world. The MicroMatic was a success and helped helped Gem and ASR through the dirty 30's.
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (8) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle!
    Soap : Speick stick, nice mild spicy scent with excellent longevity.
    Brush : Yaqi " Ferrari" 24mm boar bristle hair brush. Excellent lather generator, soft split end boar bristle tips.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Ach Brito Lavanda with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : 1-10 dial - Copy (2)4 template 9.2.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Gem MicroMatic with a coated Gem blade.
