Brush: 200-2 Rubberset Two Band Badger
Soap: WSP Formula T Cooling Barbershop

3 pass shave with the vintage Gem blade them one pass for cleanup with a modern Gem blade and I'm BBS+ . Very close, comfortable, smooth shave with zero irritation and no weepers. Absolutely no stinging when applying the alum.
This little razor still amazes me every time I use it very effective at removing stubble.View attachment 1137890View attachment 1137891View attachment 1137892
The Vintage Gem Duridium blade that I honed up gives an amazing shave. This is the second shave on this blade after the initial honing. I'm afraid if it shaves any better with the blade you mentioned I might not go back to shaving with my straight razors and I love my straight razor shaves.You will enjoy that razor a lot more when you slip in a new Gem Personna SS PTFE blade IMO.
