Gemini is a constellation of the zodiac representing the Twins of mythology, Castor and Pollux. So to end this year's GEMini, I turned to an oddball razor which features Twins as it's corporate symbol, J.A. Henckels Zwillingswerk (Twinworks) A.G. of Solingen. Built for one of the wedge blades, it clamps down on a modern blade just as well. Perfect shave!

Thanks for the opportunity to see some wonderful SE razor photos, and for causing me to re-revisit some great shavers that sometimes languish too long in their drawers.

Beautiful set!

Every time I see one of these my RAD flares up, big time.

Thanks. It's pretty rare. I've only seen a couple others on B&B. I feel very lucky to have it.

Alas, the MM blade was not to be.


Last shave of GEMini...if you have to shave off 5 days growth, you should really use an open comb.

Thank you gents for playing along. Some great pics and some really cool razors.
Getting that Henckels in on a technical made me smile when I got home late last night

Shall we say same time, same place next year?

It's a date!
