RE: It has been a while! - GAW9576 - 01-16-2021
I get around 11-12 shaves out of an SS and much less out of a carbon. Something like 5 to 7 I believe for carbons.

I will look forward to seeing that!!
I think I am going to start it next month. I will make it a Williams mug and Aqua Velva month. I need to get some blades soon. I was told by some on on this forum that Tryablade had three options and I am going to get them. My 1912 should be coming this week so soon you should see a post on it. Where should I post it?

I've tried both the carbon, and the stainless. Truthfully, after the 1st shave, I couldn't tell you which one was which.
A couple of guys will strip the blade on thier blue jeans just to take the harshness off. May give that a try.

My GEM 1912 arrives on Jan 21 according to the estimate. I would like it to come in sooner than that so I can set up my shaving test I will be doing. I might need to get myself some more Williams mug as well. Big fan of that soap.
