I had an excellent shave this morning with a Gem 1912, fresh Gem SS PTFE, LaToja, and an Omega boar. The lather today was even better than yesterday and I'm very glad I figured out the issues I had been having with boar brushes. Today's watch is the Casio G-Shock DW 5600E. And today's shave was also inspired by SRQShavers recent acquisition.

No sir. This is the way I found it at an antique store.

The Gem Clog-Pruf Peerless performed particularly pleasantly today with a second use Gem SS PTFE. I've also been getting far better results with boar brushes. The Omega 40033 was used to whipped up a wonderful face lather with Cellar organic. Today's watch is the Casio WD 5600E on a 22mm burgundy eulit perlon watch strap using JaysandKays adapters.

I asked you about that before,... somewhere,... I never saw a response.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

Sorry if I didn't respond before. It's a great razor. I don't know what kind of metal the handle is but it's interesting looking.
