GEM Junior 1912 Parade
GEM Persona PTFE (x4 or 5 ... or 6?)
Oleo Soapworks, Windy City Barbershop
Omega 626

The Jr. is a new acquisition after enjoying a MMOC and not enjoying a 1912 so much. I found the Jr. to have little to no blade feel, but the results were stellar. And I enjoyed the baton handle though it does take a little getting used to. Most certainly a keeper.

The Oleo is on loan from a friend. I've used it 3 it 4 times now and just don't get a lather I like. It seems to take quite a bit of water, but it doesn't seem to want to hold any body. It's slick enough, but just not my cup of tea.

As always, Schick Type G with appropriate Schick blade. Got lazy and used Cremo this morning instead of Proraso. Finished with a small splash of Pinaud Whiskey Woods. I will always say: A vintage Schick is like a sports car for your face.

The TNNSER 3D I had printed just didn't cut the mustard the plastic was way too brittle so the cap split no wasting anymore money to print another. The guy I had print it was reliable enough, just the plastic he used wasn't up to snuff.... To bad really cuz a copper colored one woulda been cool!

Wednesday's shave was this.
Prep-hot shower
Razor-Occums
Blade-feather (6)
Soap-PDP 63 face lathered
Brush-custom Ali handle synth (had to give her one more chance) nope gonna pluck that knot and melt it....
Post Shave-GJ alum and I broke out the homebrew Vanilla Lime, Bay Rum AS.
Results-fantastic BBS 3 pass to include clean up only disappointment came from the brush. The handle is chunky and I like it but the knot...I wanted to like it when I bought it (long ago) but it feels plastic, soft, plenty of backbone but just fake it's gotta go, another Omega 49 knot will replace it!

I'm kinda struggling with mine at the moment. Also a top cap issue I believe. I think I figured it out though. I'm gonna put it down for a few weeks and come back to it.

Working through a lot of 5 GEMs I recently acquired. Today it was the Damascene.

GEM Damascene
GEM Persona PTFE
Tabac
Eveready Heritage Collection in silvertip

Loved the Damascene. More blade feel than the Jr. Parade, but less than the MMOC. Just right to let you know you are shaving, but without having to worry too much.
