It was a late Monday, west coast shave, so here it is on Tuesday:
Micromatic Clogpruf - peerless
GEM PTFE on shave 1
Col Conk Lime for hydration/prep
Williams Mug
Simpson Duke 1 in Best

Time to shop for a photo resize app...
Vintage GEM blade/Schick/AutoStrop

Menthol (WS-23) Micromatic Monday

Monday August 30, 2021
Razor: Bumpless Micromatic
Blade: Gem SS (1)
Brush: Stuart/Timberwolf
Soap: A&E NYC
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: A&E NYC Splash
Fragrance: n/a
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1027

So a touch of WS-23 Cooling powder was added to the A&E NYC to give it that Menthol freeze. I must remember that a little goes a long way with this stuff. GREAT Micromatic shave. This one is missing the bumps on the baseplate top for those that see a difference in the 2. All I know is it gives an amazing shave. Not sure I see a difference when I use the other one I have or not. Hope all in the way of Ida are weathering things well and are safe. Have a great Monday Everyone !

The Gem Featherweight Deluxe is a fantastic mild yet efficient razor. And I love the scent and performance of the Novelist.
