Gem Micromatic Open Comb

Shave of the Day
July 25, 2013
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.

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.
