That razor is Unmentionable!

Nice. But not!
IMHO, It's a razor with two SE blades.

Similar to Schick Twin Injector blade.

But it's a Gillette Trac II clone that uses Trac II cartridges, isn't it? Huh

Shave 71 with the Bunny V2.2 and 59 with the Personna 74 loaded. The blade edge dieing off definitely tests weather I am paying attention to good technique.

Saturday Morning Salvation

MacGyver to the rescue.  Two Days ago I used this set and then realized the blade was not clamped due to the cap flat spring being broken off.  The lowly paper clip did the trick.  Clamped that blade down fine this time and we had a Marvelous shave.

GEM 1912 (Deluxe Kit?) - White Square Case
PAL Carbon Blue Blade (1X)
Vintage Century Boar Brush
TFS Granducato Toscano / LPL Cedre Patchouli Mash Up
7 Potencias Splash
Proraso White Crema Liquida Balm

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Derby Shave Soap Stick
Jayaruh #2 Badger
Ever-Ready Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Lilac Vegetal

The Derby Shave Soap Stick lathered well with the Jayaruh #2 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher and Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Lilac Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
