Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tea Tree Body Bar
Jayaruh #464 Synthetic
Auto Strop A2
Personna GEM SS PTFE
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

The Tea Tree Body Bar Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #464 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Auto Strop A2 razor and the modifid Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Mennen Skin Bracerl AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Cool razor. It looks like it takes Gem blades. Is that correct?
