RE: SOTD - February 2024 - Jayaruh - 02-07-2024 ![]() Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave Cold Water Rinse Williams Mug Shaving Soap Jayaruh #217 Synthetic Gem G-bar Personna GEM SS PTFE CWR Duru Cologne The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #217 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem G-bar SE Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Duru Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... RE: SOTD - February 2024 - Anchovie666 - 02-07-2024 Wednesday Morning Walkabout GEM 1912 came along in a batch lot I bought recently. First spin so I thought a Carbon blade would be closer to vintage feel. What a beautiful shave. Ever Ready Vintage Boar was a great face latherer.

This razor was very unique for its time and is "adjustable" but it is a pain to set up to shave with an modified adapter. It was designed for magnetized wedge blades has no Blade stops just 2 sliding blade blade holders that are held in tension by a square screw on each side It also has a roller guard. The shave was good but at the second pass it moved on the holders and I didn't realize it and post shave I had some irritation.

Smoothed out a bit and allowed for some Buffing and better ATG work. A & E lather helped. Overall a great shave.
