Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #2 Badger
Gem Flying Wing
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Tabac AS

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. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

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.

GEM V-Slim G-Bar 
GEM Personna SS PTFE Blade (1X)
AP ShaveCo G5C Knot Brush
Gingers Garden Vizier Shave Soap
Williams Aqua Velva Splash
Canoe Aftershave

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.

GEM 1912 Ivory Travel Kit
GEM Personna SS PTFE Blade (1X)
Tabac Shave Soap
AP ShaveCo 22mm Synbad Knot Brush
Myrsol Limon Splash
Tabac Aftershave
