Eighth use on the GEM PTFE blade in the Empire and it was very good. After the shave I increased the blade exposure by about a quarter turn (you don't need much on the Empire) to give a bit more blade feel on future uses. I really love the little Made-Rite boar. It is so velvety soft but did need to go back to the puck a few swirls between passes.

Semogue Saturdays!
Hello friends
Hot and rainy Saturday here. After a few months I returned to the magnificent Tabac. Semogue SOC Mistura, my favorite brush was fantastic, as always. My little great friend Il Piccolo and the Gillette Nacet (8) on its eighth OBIF shave were immaculate. It looks like this blade still has a way to goโฆ

An excellent shave.
My first shave with the Superior cuts SB baseplate was really good. For my style of shaving โ most of my strokes are buffing style and the blade never leaves the skin on the backstroke โ so I like the smooth safety bars. Gotta say I'm really impressed, and I love the color!
