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.

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.

The EverReady/Gem family uses a single edge blade. The head should be almost flat to the face when shaving.

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.
