SOS: October 2023

MMMonday, October 23 2023. MicroMatic Monday thread, use any ASR razor that uses a Gem blade any day of the week welcomed.

Razor : Gem Junior bar lather catcher- Mfg in 1907-11, mild range. Very nice ornate detail on base plate with the "G" in the middle with nice scrolling on the backside. This antique razor still performs well with a new Gem blade and will last for generations with a little care. This is what folks used at the turn of the century, considered state of the art shaving technology. Had a great close comfortable shave with this Gem of a razor.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (3) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock American barber, nice unique cologne linear scent 7-8/10 with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi " Casino clubs" 26mm Timberwolf knot, excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Very over all excellent brush for my shave needs. 26mm brushes are some of the best .
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 : Razorock American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Gem Jr bar lather catcher with a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!

Shave of the Week Starting 10/23/2023

Weber DLC razor
Gillette 7 O'Clock blade
Plisson/L'Occitane brush
Palmolive Classic SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

2 passes and tiny bit of clean up and I'm BBS! This combo of goodies worked exceedingly well together and my face is very happy. We all have those items that we say we'll never part with but sometimes do anyway. The Weber DLC will be in my den for a long long time. I really really like it. It would take a tremendously large amount of $$ for me to part with it. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Thank you Gary
