Very, very nice two pass shave.

Thanks Tom!

What a great-looking razor! That's not one I'm familiar with. It never ceases to amaze me how many different ideas about what a razor could be there were at that point in time.

Great shave! I have this razor on my shortlist for acquisitions this year.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac
Jayaruh #424 Synthetic
Ever-Ready 1924
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready 1924 Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I commented on your video already but I thought I might as well say it here too. This is one of the GEM razors that I'd like to pick up soon. I really like the look of it. Your clear tape on the blade edges is very clever.

Razor: Above the Tie G1 V1.5 Single Edge Razor
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE Stainless Steel Blade
Brush: Simpson Emperor 3 Super Badger
Pre-Shave: Proraso White
Lather: Long Rifle Bay Rhum
Aftershave: Long Rifle Bay Rhum Shave Tonic
Additional Care:
  Thayers Facial Tonic Witch Hazel Rose
 Petal
  Imperial Leather Talcum Powder

I said that I didn't know if I was being dumb for buying this razor and now I know it was a dumb thing to do.  This is the pretty woman who can't cook and don't like sex!   I put a fresh PTFE blade in it today and it cut my throat more than it did my whiskers.  I pulled out a Schick to rescue the shave but the damage was done.  I may have to skip my shave tomorrow while my neck heals.  You won't see this one for a while  I need to give it a rest.

What a shame! It's a very interesting-looking razor. I hadn't heard of it until now and maybe this is why!

Razorock Hawk V3 OC razor
Captain Titan Mild blade
Tabac soap
Semogue triple color boar brush
Captain's Choice NorEaster aftershave

How is the OC variant? I have to imagine there's more blade feel but that's not always the case.
