To the point of using a SEvette effectively. Maybe some don't know what a SEvette is? It's a SE razor minus the comb. Basically a bare blade on a "hoe
handle. They give a great shave, close! And it's all technique.
I have used hat type of unmentionable before. One of them twhite made and another I made from a vintage unmentionable that had a missing tooth on the comb. I also experimented with an AC blade in a wider unmentionable that does not have good blades available. When loaded the blade stuck past the guard bar that was there. Which I believe would make it an extra unmentionable.

I think it's just bigger bricks worthy. 
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

Oh I can still toss the real thing. I just have not been around much. I did change my wireless plan to one that is unlimited and I have the mobile hotspot worked out. So I should be able to check in some at work. It is working ok so far tonight, Not as fast as when I am on the home wifi but really not that bad at all,.
Happy shaves to ya!

Exactly my experience as well!
By the way, as a recent discoverer of how wonderful GEMs are, I love the sound of my whiskers being removed, often described as scraping toast. Is that the basis for the name of this forum? Enquiring minds want to know!
