Soap Rasozero Barbacco
Brush Yaqi 26mm Lucky Dice Badger
Razor GEM Junior
Blade GEM Stainless 1st
Post & Aftershaves
Ice Water + Special Thayers
Hyaluronic + Clubman Brandy Spice
Nice lather from the soap. Too mild a scent but thick creamy and slick quality. The brush feels plush and was awesome
1st shave with razor paired with blade. Wow...!!! It was way smoother and much more comfortable compare to the GEM Push Button. So smooth that I can go ATG on the upper lips area. 3passes for a mostly BBS result! Wow indeed. Saw some minor creepers later though. Excellent post & aftershaves.
Rating 9.5/10.
Absolutely enjoyed using this GEM Junior...beautiful razor and shaves wonderfully!!
