My first TCOC posted shave at our new home: the Gem Junior Bar. The handle was done by a friend and is one of my favorites. The soap was Razorock’s Bay Rum. I like the scent and the green color, and it’s performance is more than satisfactory, but it rarely competes with my other Italian faves (Valobra and Saponificio Varesino). The brush (Yaqi Moka Express) is an absolute favorite, both for the beauty and comfort of the handle, and for the exceptional synthetic knot.
So it will surprise no one that this was a superb shave. I did 3 passes and a clean-up....I tried to “over-shave“, but this little Gem refused to make me pay for my enthusiasm. I came out smooth with no blood or irritation. Really love this lather catcher.
