A repeat TNNSER-3D Shave, this time with the Black One made by the son of a Fellow Shaver. They really are worth getting hold of if you like SEs that use Gem Blades.

MMMonday, Mar 9th 2020. Did not get that restful a nights sleep for what ever reason. Well it was a different morning for shaving when half asleep with a razor in my hand and having to do some errands in the back of my mind.
The Micromatic did a nice job for very short stubble from previous day's very close shave. These Gem razors are very nice razors and like so many seasoned shavers have mentioned prior to me not even knowing what Gem meant "shaving worlds best keep secret" & it must be true to some degree to Newbee's & others from different country's.
Razor : Gem Micromatic Flying wing, MMBT, Gem Guiding eye.... -MFG 1947-50
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (1)
Soap: Gillette Pure mixed in with some Razorock XXX left overs
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 24mm - great little brush.
Pre-shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 3.
Post shave : Proraso green After shave lotion with witch Hazel + Nivea balm.
Results : CCS,DsS,BsS + no irritation + 1 tiny blemish weeper=
great shave in my sweet spot target area.
Have some great shaves!
