Gemini 2016

[davidsilva]

I noticed the GEMINI 2015 thread, havent seen one yet for 2016, so thought I'd take a chance and start. Nothing to lose, I could be a party of one, or more...

Lately I've been using one razor one soap one brush for periods of time. This gives me an excuse to use my MMOC for a month.

So here's my shave fir the first day. GEM MMOC with a Treet Super (1). Gift from a friend, first time I'm using a Treet Super blade. I like it! Nice comfortable BBS- shave.

Glad to see someone else start it. Thank you!

My inaugural shave for GEMini

GEM Damaskeene
GEM PTFE SS (1)
Mystic Water Bay Rum
Fine Angel Hair Synthetic
Fine American Blend AS

And a darn good start it was too.

Ok I'm new here what is Gemini 2016 ? I assume it has to do with a Gem Razor

A five or 6 year tradition where we take the astrological month of Gemini to celebrate the GEM razors and all its ASR cousins.

Same set up as yesterday: GEM Junior Bar and PAL Super carbon steel (2). The GEM Junior Bar always gives me a very comfortable shave. It's not the closest shave, but not bad at all.

 

[Inari7]

I also forgot about Gemini but I've been using my Star 1912 and my GEM Clug Pruf for the last couple of days.

 

[Haggises]

Day 3 skipped
Day 4

GEM Damaskeene OC
GEM PTFE SS(1)
Kiehl's brushless cream

Effortless and smooth. Just that little bit more refined than a regular Damaskeene.
