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...

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.

Razor: Dr. Scotts 1896 safety razor
Blade: CVS Carbon
Brush: Ever Ready Boar
Soap: Shulton Old Spice
Post: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
After: Old Spice Original
Notes : My last have with the DR Scotts as I have decided to down size my razor collection. 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.

I just watched the video on this shave. No blade stops!! Brave man. What we don't do for Science.

Thursday Morning Frolic
Second use on the vintage Valet blade and better results. Smoothed out a bit and allowed for some Buffing and better ATG work. A & E lather helped. Overall a great shave.
