The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #2 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Flying Wing and Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave.

Tuesday Morning Constitutional

One of the final GEM Models that I haven't shaved with from my collection until now.  What an amazing shave it gave.  Smooth yet efficient.  Pretty much an autopilot shave.

Wednesday Morning Ding Bat Debauchery

And I'm the Ding Bat.  First time with this cute little GEM travel kit and I did not realize the cap spring was not there.  It clamped up pretty good and held the blade for a few strokes then the blade would shimmy up into the head.  I'd have to readjust it and then good for a few more strokes.  After an awkward two pass shave I was surprised to find the damn thing actually shaved pretty well.  I ended up with a comfortable DFS result.
