Razor : GEM Jr (1938+ The Parade model)
Blade: Gem Super Stainless 
Brush: VDH Boar
Soap: VDH Deluxe
After: Dickson's witch hazel & My home made after shave ( It's Green !)
Notes: I have two later Gem Jr models arriving the mail this week, I thought it was time for a 1912 shave. It was great shave, no cuts or irritation. Also I made some aftershave it came out very green and has a high alcohol content, the oils I used made it cloudy, But it smells really good and does a great job.

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Green Shave Soap
Jayaruh #397 2-band Badger
Cobra Classic
Feather Professional
CWR
Osage Rub

The Proraso Green Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #397 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Cobra Classic and a Feather Professional Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
