Tabac Tuesday's Shave
![[Image: zcws.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/905gwjZc/zcws.jpg)
Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
SlimGem Silvertip Badger (first shave)
Triceratops 3d Printed Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Tabac ASB
The Tabac Shave Soap was applied with the SlimGem Silvertip Badger brush. One pass and touch ups with the Triceratops 3d Printed Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

A bit of a trial today, inspired by twhite's post, i decided to give the Wilkinson a new Blade, using a modified GEM.
I used a 9-10 shave old Blade for the trial, following instruction i removed the spine and trimmed the blade down to 11mm with some heavy duty scissors then refitted the spine, hey! this looks as though it will work!

So, 1st pass RH using the original blade, nice and smooth - no issues
Dry hands, switch blades and completed the LH side, now then, although the blade is not new it works! with a very audible sound track - No issues, I lathered up again and completed a full XTG pass with the modified blade - spot on.
Dried hands and switch blade again to do some ATG touch up.
What a happy shaver, a very involving shave ending up with a DFS finish.
Feeling real good and smelling very 1970's
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

It did Tom, I had to adjust the safety bar a bit and it gave a fairly mild shave.
Now I am more confident I will reduce safety bar exposing a bit more blade, plus a new blade of course.
Thanks for the heads up.
