Schick I2 Hydromatic/Chick blade (5)
Sunday shave with a different razor to enjoy!
Still putting the Everready Streamline razor through it's paces and seeing were this razor efficiency and aggression is compared to my other GEM razors I enjoy. Very challenging razor to figure out it's strengths and weakness over time and there is not a lot information on it's performance. Right now trying to simulate correct spline thickness for it's time of design because the new GEM Personna SS PTFE have a much thinner spline design and I have a excellent solution that possibly others have tried(Elastic band) for tomorrows shave testing.(Going into the unknown!)

Blade : GEM Personna SS PTFE (3)
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Soap : Tabac in the mixing bowl for 2 days
Preshave: shower and Aloe Vera gel

Great close shave today!
Have some great shave!
Very generous of you to offer a old blade, I have a Gem old one from a razor from _bay that I purchased with my 1912 gold and brass razor. The spine thickness is .072 thousands of a inch compared to a New Gem spined blade .038 thousands of a inch . No problem with finding a Elastic and I modified the length to see how it performs and I will also make it so that it exceeds the thickness and so there is a lot of angle(gotta have a little fun). This will do two things IMO and that is to reduce audio and give a downward slice making the shave smoother and it has not changed blade gap from my inspection.I saw something on etsy that is a 3d printed adaptor for gem blades, bit I think that is for matching the thickness of the old wedge blades. I wonder if that would be to thick for your application. Do you have the proper thickness measurement to go off of. If not I have one of the old blades I could measure for you.
