Brush: Omega 50086 Bambino 18/48
Soap: Clubman
Razor: BiC METAL (1)
ASL: Clubman

An OK shave.

I was surprised at @Mr. Shavington classing this razor among his favorites (hence I HAD TO try one out). It's designed (IMO) like most cartridge and disposable razors. That is, it's meant to be ridden shallow, like most GEM style single edgers. Perfect examples of this are the ones with no cap at all, so, just like a straight (blade only) there's no cap to depress the skin in front of the blade (caps make them brilliant at lopping off any skin undulations [and the thicker the cap the worse it gets]).

I'm a natural steep shaver, hence my preference for DE razors where riding the guard (at all times) smooths the skin in front of the blade. That's why DEs have guards (IMO [and King C. Gillette's]).

Notwithstanding my yattering above, I did get an excellent BBS shave with the BiC METAL... and being a lightweight razor lover I didn't need to increase my virtually non-existent pressure one bit. Having said that it was an OK shave only refers to my DE razor preference... I got an excellent shave but would definitely prefer using one of my DE favorites, in particular my Oliblade—Classic Steel—Original Grail razor.

(More pics of the BiC METAL [which arrived today] HERE if you're interested.)


Happy shaves guys.

Pre-Shave	Face wash with Cera Ve Face Soap
Soap/Cream	Cella
Brush	Rudy Vey with 28mm Shavemac Knot
Bowl	Captains Choice Copper & Old Spice Mug
Razor	ATT S-1
Blade	Personna Medical Prep
Aftershave	Thayers WH & Duke Cannon ASB
Fragrance	Jimmy Choo Man Intense
Rating	10/10
Comments	Today, I chose a different razor and blade combination: ATT S-1 with a Personna Medical Prep blade. This is a nice slant razor. It gives me a close and smooth shave. Rudy Vey made today’s brush. Rudy made the 2012 LE brush which I liked. I asked him to keep the Keyhole design and use a larger, 28mm Shavemac Knot. This has become one of my favorite brushes. The brush did a superb job of making plenty of lather. The shave was excellent: a perfect BBS shave. Have a wonderful day and week, folks.

SE SOTD, Sunday, September 8th 2024

Razor : Gem Junior bar lather catcher. Mfg 1907-11, mild range. Very easy going shave this morning. This was a popular razor for its time until the 1912 models arrived with the flip cap for securing the blade + gave Gem different ways to throttle aggression as time went on through the following decades of the different caps IMO.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(2) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock Irish Countryside, nice fresh scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Rainbow" 26mm brown whiskers synthetic.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock Irish Countryside with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Gem Jr bar L.C with a coated Gem blade. There was not much to shave from yesterday's very close shave!

Have some great shaves!
