Shave of the Week Starting 7/31/2023

Gem G-Bar razor
Gem Super Stainless blade
PAA Amber Aerolite brush
Vintage Renleigh SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

The Renleigh SS needs to wake up a little more and let loose of the protective lather I hope is in the puck. Lathered easily enough but didn't provide the qualities a good soap should. I'll give it a few days to wake up though. The G-Bar is easy to use and did the job quite well. But thank goodness for my Osage Rub/Witch Hazel mix cuz I needed the soothing effects it gives. All in all, a marginal shave to start the week. Hope it gets better. If not, look for an update. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Very nice. I really like the looks of the V2.2. That is a lot of shaves with one blade.

Thank you. Tom is a truly talented razor designer.
Lots of shaves on one blade and it's still going. It will be interesting to see how many shaves I get out of it.
