I used the Gem Junior Bar on the front of my neck and on my beard line and the Push Button on the back of my neck. This turned out to be a very close enjoyable shave.
Very, very beautiful old razor. I’m definately keeping my an eye out for one!

This is a video I made of my son's shave yesterday with the Gem Jr. and Tabac. It was his first vintage shave. You can hear the grandkids and grandma in the background. It was a fun activity.
I see you are running a bit low on Tabac there, hehe. Good shave, though!
