Almost a Religious shave.  The G-Bar sped around my face like a juiced up GTO.  The second and third shaves on these GEM PTFEs are a real sweet spot.

No brand name.  I think it's one that may have come with a Burma Shave box along the way.  It's not a bad little boar tip on it.  I'm not even sure I can say it's vintage.

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Mitchel's Wool Fat
Semogue Owners Club Boar
SlimGem 3D Injector Razor
Personna Injector Blade
CWR
Clubman Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave

The Mitchel's Wool Fat lathered well with the Semogue Owners Club Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the SlimGem 3D Injector Razor and a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Clubman Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Friday Morning Festivities

WOW - the Valet Vintage blade shaved like it was made yesterday.  I had to open the razor to check in case I got it mixed up with a Feather FHS-10.  It was truly an amazing shave.  Smooth & Efficient even for a probably 70 year old blade.
