Just say "Push Button" man, geez.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

Maybe he meant a Gem peanut butter. Why do you assume it was a Push Button.
Actually it's a carry over from another forum were most of us used the acronyms for many of the razors. Old habits die hard.

No it's the Gem Plump Bottom, a well known and loved razor

A pot belly GEM might be interesting.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave
[Image: zcws.jpg]

Cold Water Rinse
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap
Jayaruh #423
1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Clubman AS

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #423 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Razor: Star Super Six
Blade: Gem SS (?)
Brush: Knothead Brushworks "The Kentuckian"
Soap: Honeybee Soaps Cucumber Melon
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Barbasol Pacific Rush
Fragrance: CK ONE
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1012

Wanted to revisit the Star Super Six as the last shave with it was incredible and lasted nearly 14 ours which shocked m. Another amazing shave with it and excited to have 2 more OLD razors coming from the same source this one came from. Already sold a couple more modern razors to cancel out the cost. Hope all are enjoying their weekend and have a Great Sunday !
