I survived a lathey foreman
GEMonday, December 16th 2024, Mostly riding the cap with this razor for comfort and its design favors this approach IMO.
Razor : Gem Push button SE. Mfg 1959-65, tame mid range. I get some fine shaves with this razor and with the Black and gold trim it's eye candy for myself when I purchased years ago.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(3) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock XXX, very nice unique fresh clean cologne scent that lasts with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi (Moka express) 26mm synthetic knot. 26mm synthetic knots are some of my best luxury face feel + lather performance prep knots .
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 XXX splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :
or CCS,DFS,BBs+ no irritation + no weepers=
Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Gem G bar with a coated Gem blade. Very nice combination of shave gear this morning for excellent results.
Have some great shaves!
