SEPTEMBER 16th, 2014

GEM 1912 | BLUREBEARDS | PRORASO | THAYERS

A Fine shaver. That's how I would describe the GEM 1912. I do not know much about SE's but this model seems to get mention a lot. It is fairly easy to shave with as it is easy to find the angle. Just keep it pretty flat to your face and you will be fine. Its always nice to try something new, and I did enjoy myself. I did not get as good of a shave as I have been with my slant and yesterdays OC, but a nice CCS it was. I will say that I am enjoying the Proraso green more and more each time I use it.

Cheers Guys

Not a huge Open Comb fan, but since it's vintage week, why not?
She's a rough one indeed, but the shave is good and the handle's usable.

Tuesday

Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Scots Pine Bath Soap
Soap: Maggard Limes & Bergamot
Razor: Gillette Slim
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (4)
Brush: oscar11 TGN 2-Band Finest-24mmx50mm
Aftershave: Krampert’s Frostbite

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)


I have been using the Maggard Limes & Bergamot in my rotation for 4 months now. It is one of my “Top 5”. Quick easy lather after loading for 20 seconds. GSB in the Slim. Another excellent smooth, close, nick free shave. I finished with Krampert’s Frostbite.
