SOTD, 24 November 2019

First shave today with a Nacet blade, and I'll add my voice to those who praise its virtues. What a sharp blade! In concert with my relatively newly-acquired Fine Marvel razor, there was hardly anything left of a two-day growth after the first pass. A very comfortable, very enjoyable two passer today.

Pre-shave: hot shower and hot towel
Razor: Fine Accoutrements Marvel
Blade: Gillette Nacet (#1)
Brush: Omega Pro 49
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements Ceramic Lather Bowl
Cream: Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood
Aftershave: Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood

GEMonday for myself today, I just love using this Gem Junior 1912 Parade. I have a lot of inexpensive razors and expensive ones but this little jewel blows the whole lot away some days.

Razor: Gem Junior 1912 Parade model- MFG 1943 Variant
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (5)
Soap: Razorock "What the puck" orange
Brush: Yaqi Rainbow brown whiskers 26mm+
Preshave : Brush wash the face with CeraVe hand bar soap
Postshave: Razorock American barber aftershave with witch hazel + Nivea balm
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + No irritation + no weepers =

Have some great shaves!

The Jones Shake Sharp is deceptive-looking. It looks like a 1912 Gem razor, but uses DE blades. When I first examined the blade exposure, I was prepared for an aggressive, technical shave. However, the shave was highly efficient and surprisingly smooth. The razor sang as it cut. When I checked after the first pass, my whiskers were mowed down to the DFS level. I could have quit at that point, but decided to go w/ an ATG for my second pass. The result was a two pass BBS w/ no irritation picked up by the alum block. This razor is going into the regular rotation along with the Cooper. Two consecutive days of an effortless BBS.
