I had a great shave today with my very rare American Button company Scroll handle Gem Jr. Bar. It's the only one I've seen.

Beautiful razor.

Thank you. The Gem Jr. Bar is a fantastic shaver and definitely one of my top favorites in my collection.

That is a spectacular looking set. That style case is one of the few cases I really want. I have an English ER peerless and love it but have not seen one in that set before.

Thank you,
It's another one I got from the long closed chemist, I do like it a lot, lovely shaver.

Tuesday SEptember 21, 2021
Razor: A Type Schick Repeater
Blade: Schick B Proline
Brush: Mr EE LE Gold
Soap: Rèvolution
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Rèvolution Splash
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,049

So I didn't count before but figured I would have enough to use a different SE Razor each day of SEptember without repeating. I now see with just 9 days to go it will be done easily and still have some that have not been used yet and need to do on video. The B Repeater is a heavy guy being all brass and silver plated. It also requires a slightly different angle than a typical Injector. I got a smooth and comfortable shave from it and glad it's in the den and has a companion Type A coming to join it. I may get a Type C eventually to complete the set of Repeaters. Have a great day everyone and let's "Kick this Pig" !

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
SlimGem Silvertip Badger
GEM Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with SlimGem Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Damaskeene with a Personna GEM SS PTFE gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

SEptember
Pre     - Shower, Cold water Face rinse
Brush - Alpha Outlaw Titanium G4 Synth
Soap  - Signature Soap Coria
Razor - Henckels Rapide - Patent 02/01/1894 #512125
Blade - Henckels Rapide Wedge
Post   - Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm  - BartsBalm Tester D
A/S    - Pinaud Gents Gin





My SOTW by far, worthy of 2 photos.
My favourite brush and favourite Signature soap produced a wonderfully scented slick lather, i then completed a full 3 pass shave with the Henckels wedge which seemed to shine on the more stubborn areas, i needed a little concentration under the nose and was rewarded for my time.
Yes, these old wedge blades are not as smooth as the new fangle blades we have today, yes, they take a little practice to get to the more difficult area under the nose and chin during the shave and yes, they give a brilliant shaving experience.
A nice post shave to finish off without any indication from the splash.
Result:-
DFS++, my fault. Just a tiny missed area on the bottom RH side of my chin, noticed during the post shave routine, i can live with that.

Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Very nice indeed. I prefer to use my Henckels wedge in my Henckels Rapide Razor, too. It is also fun to strop the blade.

It was a very nice shave Jim, I have a couple of paddles I can use for my wedge blades and it was given 6 laps on the Chromium oxide then 30 on the leather post shave.
I also have more confidence due to my recent rolls blade honing, therefore, i may have a go at putting a better edge on the Henckels soon. At present though it's working fine even if it does not have a "mirror" finish to it.
