Gem Micromatic Open Comb
Shave of the Day
August 15, 2013
•Proraso cream
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Gem Micromatic Open Comb razor
•Gem stainless steel blade
•Mennen Skin Bracer Winter Spice aftershave
The Micromatic Open Comb is my favorite razor. (Don’t tell my other favorites, the Cobra, the iKons, the Weber, the slant).
The air here in Trenton has a Fall like crispness. Proraso menthol and Skin Bracer Winter Spice seems appropriate.

Gem Micromatic ClogPruf
Shave of the Day

Gem/EverReady Week (2)
•Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender soap
•Kingsley badger brush
•Gem Micromatic Clogpruf razor
•Gem stainless steel blade
•Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla
I took me several tries before I could shave safely with the Clogpruf. It is a very aggressive and efficient razor.
The TOBS Lavender is among the best in my den, due to its lather, lubrication, and the scent.
The Clubman Classic Vanilla is a warm scent that lasts a long time.

Gem/EverReady Week (2)
•Proraso red tub soap
•Kingsley badger brush
•Gem Micromatic Open Comb razor
•Gem stainless steel blade
•Pinaud Lilac Vegetal aftershave
One of my favorite Gems, the MMOC shaves efficiently. The Proraso is a wonderful soap that lathers easily and provided great lubrication. What can I say about Lilac Vegetal. You either love it or hate it.
Up for tomorrow, the Gem Micromatic Clogpruf.

Gem/EverReady Week (2)
•Tabac soap
•Kingsley badger brush
•EverReady 1924 Shovelhead razor
•Gem Stainless Steel blade
•Clubman Club Royale aftershave
The Tabac soap is a great start to a great shave. It lathers easily, provides good lubrication, and has a unique scent. The EverReady 24 has an easy to access blade and shaves closely and efficiently. The Clubman Club Royale pairs nicely with the Tabac.
Before you ask, the Club Royale is vintage and no longer made.
Next up, the Gem Micromatic Open Comb.

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.
