Gillette Tech
Shave of the Day
July 20, 2013
•Proraso green tube
•Muhle badger brush
•Gillette early fat handle Tech
•Feather blade
•Old Spice Musk for Men aftershave
The Gillette Tech was a workhorse for Gillette from1931 to 1973.
The Feather blade counteracts the mildness of the Tech.
The aftershave is vintage. Old Spice India still makes a musk, but I don’t know if is the same as this musk.
My bottle is the travel bottle.

EverReady 1924 Shovel head
Shave of the Day
Gem/Everready Week
July 19, 2013
•Proraso green tub soap
•Kingsley badger brush
•EverReady 1924 shovel head razor
•Treet blade
•Old Spice aftershave
A great finale to Gem/Everready week. My newly acquired 24 in gold. The 24 is an aggressive razor, but it is easy to open (and dry this carbon steel blade).
The shave starts cool with the Proraso and ends spicy with Old Spice.
EverReady 1912
Shave of the Day
Gem/EverReady Week
July 18, 2013
•Arko stick soap
•Century badger brush
•EverReady 1912 razor
•Gem stainless steel blade
•Mennen Skin Bracer aftershave
My oldest EverReady. (Just like its twin the Gem 1912).
A nice smooth shave.
Gem Micromatic Bullet Tip
Shave of the Day
Gem/EverReady Week
July 17, 2013
•Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Soap
•Century boar brush
•Gem Micromatic Bullet Tip razor
•Gem stainless steel blade
•Lucky Tiger aftershave balm
Gem Micromatic Clogpruf
Shave of the Day
July 16, 2013
•Proraso Green Tub soap
•Century boar brush
•Gem Micromatic Clogpruf razor
•Treet blade
•Lucky Tiger shave balm
The Micromatic Clogpruf is the most aggressive of the Micromatics, in my opinion. Nevertheless, with care, it produced a great shave.

Gem Micromatic Open Comb (1930)
Gem Micromatic Clog Pruf (1940)

The EverReady/Gem family uses a single edge blade. The head should be almost flat to the face when shaving.
Gem Micromatic Open Comb Razor
Shave of the Day
July 15, 2013
Gem/EverReady Week
•Tabac soap
•Kingsley badger brush
•Gem Micromatic Open Comb razor in brass
•Gem stainless steel razor
•Lucky Tiger aftershave
This week is a tour of the Gem/EverReady Razors. The Gem Micromatic Open Comb Razor was the first Micromatic. It is a twist to open razor. First introduced in 1930, it was the first of three iterations of the Micromatic.
It shaves smoothly and efficiently.
The Lucky Tiger balm doesn’t carry much scent, but it is soothing and moisturizing.
Merkur 37C Slant

July 14, 2013
•D R Harris Windsor soap
•Kingsley Badger brush
•Merkur 37C “Slant”
•PolSilver Super Iridium blade

The slant continues to provide a safe and efficient shave. Clubman provides a nice finish.
